Emission reduction pathways and opportunities for the Australian red meat processing sector

01 November 2019
Focus area: Energy
Program stream: Sustainability
Project number: 2019-1059
This project evaluated the likely cost implications for red meat processors under three different greenhouse gas emission pathways:

1. Australia’s current national emission reduction targets;
2. The Paris Goals; and
3. The red meat industry’s carbon neutral goal - CN2030.

While red meat processor emissions have been trending down for the past decade, the sector needs to better understand what can be done now to help mitigate the costs and risks associated with changes to emissions policy in the future.
