Australia’s Gas Use Has Peaked

Australia’s gas use has officially peaked across all sectors, according to a new Grattan Institute report calling it a “structural decline” — but the drop isn’t happening fast enough to meet climate goals. While declines are happening organically, not driven by policy, they’re still too slow. Residential gas peaked in 2020, and power generation has dropped 11% since 2014. Without urgent action — like setting phase-out dates for home gas — we risk a costly, messy future reliant on unproven tech. The report warns we’ll need far less gas than we’re using now, but even that won’t get us to net zero. Time to act before the problem gets worse.
