Gas

Queensland’s gas industry has helped shape the modern economy and will continue to be an important part of its future.

Gas is a vital energy source for Queensland’s industrial and manufacturing sectors, and essential for our energy transition.

Queensland plays a critical role in global gas supply, powering industries, businesses, and homes worldwide. As one of the world’s leading exporters of liquefied natural gas (LNG), Queensland is a trusted supplier to major economies across Asia, as well as at home.

The industry contributes significantly to our economy, employing thousands of people and generating billions in export revenue.

LNG alone is our state’s second-largest export behind coal, supplying both the export and domestic markets.

As demand for gas grows both nationally and globally, so will Queensland’s gas industry.
