UPDATE 1-Australia backs long-term gas drilling despite 2050 climate goals
Australia's Labor government on Thursday laid out a strategy to boost natural gas development even as it remains committed to net zero carbon emissions by 2050, highlighting demand from key Asian trade partners. Australia is one of the world's largest exporters of liquefied natural gas (LNG), and Resources Minister Madeline King said gas would be needed "through to 2050 and beyond" in the global shift to cleaner energy. "It is clear we will need continued exploration, investment and development in the sector to support the path to net zero for Australia and for our export partners, and to avoid a shortfall in gas supplies," she said, launching the government's Future Gas Strategy.

Australia backs long-term gas exploration despite 2050 climate goals
Australia's resources minister said on Thursday she backs the long-term exploration of potential natural gas projects, setting up a potential clash with opposition lawmakers and some in the incumbent Labor Party that oppose its use. Australia, one of the world's largest producers of liquefied natural gas (LNG), is committed to reducing its emissions to net zero by 2050. But Resources Minister Madeline King said in a column in the Australian Financial Review on Thursday, ahead of the launch of the government's Future Gas Strategy, that "gas is needed out to 2050 and beyond."
