Notice of motion
Ms Amber-Jade Sanderson (Minister for Energy and Decarbonisation) gave notice that at the next sitting of the house she would move:
That the Economics and Industry Standing Committee inquire into and report on the role of Western Australia in the decarbonisation of our major trading partners.
The committee is to consider and make recommendations on:
(1) The pathways our major trading partners have to decarbonising and the potential for Western Australia to contribute through:
(a) LNG exports, to provide energy security as they exit coal and transition to renewable energy;
(b) blue and green fuels, such as hydrogen and ammonia; and
(c) green iron.
(2) The importance of carbon capture and storage to the above, including consideration of:
(a) any current barriers to investment in large-scale decarbonisation projects and the pathway to green fuels; and
(b) opportunities for state and federal support.
The committee will report to the house by 15 August 2026.
