Our goal is to drive down the cost of a portfolio of low emissions technologies, because getting them to commercial parity with existing approaches will make them more attractive to consumers at home and abroad. Our approach is technology not taxes, because it’s the only way to reduce emissions without imposing new costs on households or businesses, or raising the price of existing energy sources. To achieve this goal, we are investing more than 20 billion in new energy technologies over the coming decade, to drive between 80 billion and up to 120 billion of combined public and private investment and creating 160,000 jobs. Like the government’s 10 year funding model for infrastructure investment, we have adopted a decade-long funding model to bring forward private sector investment in low emissions technologies. The government will continue to refine its investments over time. Since the release of the first statement LETS 2020 in September 2020, we have committed an additional 1.7 billion in new funding across a range of areas including clean hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, soil carbon measurement and a series of international partnerships. The release of LETS 2021, the second annual statement under the roadmap, is an important element of Australia’s Long-Term Emissions Reduction Plan to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Annual reviews of our technology priorities and the investments we are making are part of our commitment to being accountable for progress under our Plan. LETS 2021 expands the priorities set out in LETS 2020, adding a new priority technology and associated stretch goal, as well as identifying new actions the government will take to establish Australia as a leader in low emissions technologies. Getting the cost of solar energy down to less than 15 per megawatt hour, around a third of today’s cost, will help us achieve dramatic cost reductions in clean hydrogen produced from electrolysis and in low emissions materials. Clean, low cost, bulk electricity supply will also help maintain Australia’s traditional advantage in affordable and reliable energy. Our continent has the highest levels of irradiation of any in the world and we have an incredible track record of driving innovation in solar photovoltaics, with more than 90 of solar panels manufactured around the world using Australian technology. LETS 2021 also adds enabling infrastructure as a new technology category, which will focus on infrastructure to help deploy priority and emerging low emissions technologies at a commercial scale, including for electric vehicles. I would like to thank the Chair of the Technology Investment Advisory Council, Dr Alan Finkel, and the other council members – Drew Clarke, Jo Evans, Grant King, David Parker, Justin Punch, Steven Skala, Alison Watkins, Shemara Wikramanayake and Ben Wilson – for their invaluable expertise and advice in developing this year’s statement. The Hon Angus Taylor MP Minister for Industry, Energy and Emissions Reduction6 LOW EMISSIONS TECHNOLOGY STATEMENT 2021 Message from the Chair The decade is still young, a decade during which we must accelerate progress in low emissions technologies into broad and lasting benefits. This technological transformation has the potential to fuel our long-term prosperity, pave the way for net zero emissions by 2050 and preserve our planet. But it rests on our ability to promote Australia’s unmatched enterprise and creativity and expand early wins in low emissions technologies into mainstream solutions. The 2021 Low Emissions Technology Statement LETS represents the second important milestone in the development of a roadmap to guide our path toward this target. LETS 2021 is technology agnostic – selecting priorities through the filters of abatement potential, economic benefit, Australia’s comparative advantage and responsiveness to government investment – while taking action to lower the adoption costs for new and emerging low emissions technologies. It underscores the importance of research and development, regulations, community engagement, voluntary action and efficient operation of markets. It introduces new policy initiatives, adds ultra low-cost solar as a priority technology in recognition of the contribution clean electricity makes to the success of the other priority technologies, and provides a new focus on enabling infrastructures that are essential to curbing emissions across the electricity and transport sectors. As the global challenge of climate change has become dramatically evident in recent years, so too has the need for greater international cooperation. We have fostered partnerships with Germany, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore and the United Kingdom, to advance the development and deployment of low emissions technologies and embrace our collective responsibility to protect our common home. It is a privilege to be part of such a strategic, rigorous and adaptive approach that reflects the vigour and vision this challenge demands. I thank Minister Angus Taylor for the opportunity to contribute, and for his wise guidance and engagement throughout. I also express my sincere thanks and appreciation to my fellow council members. They have reflected deeply on the technology challenges, and opportunities, for Australia. Their astute counsel has made it possible to take the next step in this journey. I acknowledge the strong capability and professionalism from the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources and I offer my specific thanks to the dedicated team that has implemented the work. Finally, I thank all our industry partners who have shared their expert knowledge over the past year.

Annual statements are released under the Technology Investment Roadmap. The roadmap is the cornerstone of Australia’s Long-Term Emissions Reduction Plan to meet net zero emissions by 2050. It is an enduring process to accelerate the development and commercialisation of new and emerging low emissions technologies to reach cost parity with existing high emissions technologies. The Australian Government’s technology-led approach will reduce emissions without imposing new costs on households, businesses or the economy. Priority low emissions technologies The first Low Emissions Technology Statement, released in 2020 LETS 2020, identified five priority technologies and set economic stretch goals for each one — clean hydrogen – production under 2 per kilogram kg — energy storage – electricity from storage for firming under 100 per megawatt hour MWh — low emissions materials steel and aluminium – low emissions steel production under 700 per tonne and low emissions aluminium production under 2,200 per tonne 1 — carbon capture and storage CCS – carbon dioxide CO₂ compression, hub transport and storage under 20 per tonne of CO₂ — soil carbon – soil carbon measurement under 3 per hectare per year. Economic stretch goals are ambitious but realistic goals to bring priority low emissions technologies to cost parity with existing high emissions technologies. 1 LETS 2020 identified this priority technology as ‘low carbon materials steel and aluminium’. This change has been made to clarify that the priority technology focus is on low emissions production for steel and aluminium products rather than products that contain low elemental carbon content. To be consistent with other priority technologies, the low emissions materials stretch goals have been refined to reflect
