Australia's Energy Commodity Resources (AECR) Collection

Australia’s Energy Commodity Resources (AECR) is Geoscience Australia’s annual publication presenting a stocktake of our nation’s non-renewable energy commodity resources—gas, oil, coal, and uranium—as well as the status of emerging low carbon solutions including carbon capture and storage (CCS), hydrogen and geothermal energy resources.


AECR provides important data on Australia’s energy resources, production and trade, highlighting Australia’s diverse energy resource mix, export capacity, and its contributions to the economy, energy security, emissions reduction, CCS, and renewable hydrogen.
