Climate change and energy – Phase out thermal coal exports by 2030 and levy all coal exports
The proposal would:
- phase out the export of thermal coal
- require tradeable permits to export coal
- place a levy on all coal exports.
Component 1 – Thermal coal
The policy will place an export cap on thermal coal exports, using tradable permits issued by the Commonwealth to decrease the maximum allowable annual thermal coal exports from 200 million tonnes in 2025 to 0 tonnes by 1 July 2030.

The proposal would increase the average emissions standard of carbon dioxide on the fleet‐wide passenger vehicles sold by manufacturers in Australia with the following schedule:
- 105g/km in 2025-26
- 84g/km in 2026-27
- 63g/km in 2027-28

The penalty for non-compliance is $100 per one excess gram of carbon dioxide per km over the set standards, multiplied by total passenger vehicle sold in Australia for the given year.
