A view to our emissions trading scheme.

The article discusses the move by Professor Ross Garnaut to release a Draft Report which calls for a broad-based emissions trading scheme (ETS) for Australia which includes the energy and transport sectors due to the difficulty of measuring greenhouse gas emissions from that sector. Garnaut said that the interaction of the ETS with support for research, development and commercialization will help the transition to a near-zero emissions energy sector by mid-century. In addition, he emphasized the importance of ETS in climate change policy in order to obtain a good quality of emissions trading scheme.
