The assumption that electricity is always cheaper & cleaner is wrong. This approach also ignores that viable alternatives to traditional gas, namely renewable net zero & actual zero emitting green gases, will be part of a suite of energy solutions. https://t.co/88HgSl9J5M

The verifiable data dispels the dogma that electric appliances are cheaper & lower emitting than gas. They aren’t. People matter too, so thanks to News Ltd’s reader survey today. We can take their votes as a resounding comment that commonsense is more common than you might think

New research comparing costs and emission profiles in switching from gas to electricity in Victorian homes and businesses dispels the myth that electric appliances are cheaper and lower emitting...

[Gas Energy Australia @GasEnergyAust]

The analysis is compelling, exposing the flawed assumptions being peddled that electricity is better than gas on costs and emissions. It proves that switching to all-electric appliances doesn't add up - today’s Herald Sun…

Gas is intrinsic in all our lives, used to heat homes, restaurant kitchens, pharmaceuticals, glass, rubber and to power generators in remote sites and across the national electricity grid. “A future made in Australia will be built on gas”…

Gas is and will be essential for industrial heat and chemical feedstock to make the things we need for modern living. It will, increasingly, be called upon as a vital back-up for intermittent solar and wind power generation...

The push to electrify everything costs tens of billions for less reliable power. Derived from organic matter or by-products of other sustainable fuels, renewable gases deliver net zero climate results without the massive costs in switching to all-electric reliance. - Herald Sun

Jim Beam in Kentucky USA is investing $400M in renewable gas to power its iconic distillery and reduce emissions by 50%. I’d drink to that! It will be up and running by 2024…

A column in the Australian Financial Review last week took a tongue-in-cheek swipe at GEA public commentary, but made several factual errors along the way. Our letter to the Editor of the AFR, correcting the public record is on our website: https://t.co/XPmg8yyu92

With the Climate Council joining gas providers and appliance manufacturers in pointing out major affordability gaps in the Vic Govt’s bid to see household switch to all-electric homes, it reinforces the need for the Govt to release its increasingly dubious Roadmap modelling...

[Gas Energy Australia @GasEnergyAust]

GEA was approached by the Guardian Australia with very specific questions challenging the notion of 'renewable gas’ raised in our Opinion Editorial in the Daily Telegraph (28 August). The Guardian ignored the very detail it sought.

Our Op Ed in today’s Daily Telegraph. It makes sense to have as many runners in the renewables race as possible. So banning gas connections and appliances would be ignorance writ large, denying access to renewable, net zero gas. With gas clearly needed for our energy security...

Today’s Herald Sun Editorial lays out the cost discrepancies in switching to all-electric homes under the Victorian Gas Substitution Roadmap and the real-world costs associated with such a dramatic, unnecessary and hugely costly policy approach.

[Gas Energy Australia @GasEnergyAust]

The Victorian Government must release the modelling underpinning it’s Gas Substitution Roadmap. The costs to homeowners in the Roadmap appear out-of-whack with reality by at least $7,000, and up to $26,000, per household - not including needing to buy a $13,800 battery.

Our Opinion Editorial in the Herald Sun, Courier-Mail and NT News newspapers today highlights the importance of gas today, and into the future, as a reliable, affordable and much-needed energy source that takes pressure off an already over-burdened electricity supply network.

[Gas Energy Australia @GasEnergyAust]

Victorians will be the victim of “unintended consequences” should the government ramp up plans to wean the state off gas and move to renewables as quickly as possible, Greg Ellis, MD of Rinnai Australia told 3AW’s Tom Elliott today…

As the country moves with increasing urgency to phase out its reliance on polluting coal-fired power plants and pivot toward solar and wind, natural gas will need to act as a stopgap to ensure reliable supply, says Alan Finkel.

A reliable, renewable & affordable energy future?
The answer is gas, gas, gas

"Pronouncements of phasing-out the use of gas expose the gulf between rhetoric and reality, especially with coal-fired power literally shutting down around us."
