In 2021, Australia was a net exporter of energy commodities, with notable exports in liquefied natural gas (LNG), coal, and minerals.[1]
Energy in Australia is sourced largely from coal and natural gas,[2] however, recently, due to the increasing effects of global warming and human-induced climate change on the global environment, there has been a shift towards renewable energy such as solar power and wind power both in Australia and abroad.[3][4] In 2022, renewable energy accounted for 35.9% of the total amount of electricity generated in Australia.[5]
