Details

In May 2007, the Australian Task Group on Emissions Trading presented its report to the Prime Minister. This event has been widely viewed as signalling the inevitability of emissions trading being introduced in Australia, possibly as early as 2011. This presentation explores the broad features of the model for emissions trading proposed in the Task Group report, and impacts of its recommendations on corporations, electrical systems and networks, renewable energy and energy efficiency professions.
