Resumo

This paper examines efficient means of abating the greenhouse effect in. Australia by reducing the emissions of C02. It examines the generation of C02 emissions from fossil fuels in Australia, and analyses means to cut emissions from electricity generation and road transport. Finally, it calculates the cost, in terms of growth forgone, of measures to attain the Toronto targets for Australian electricity generation and road transport, using the ORANI multisectoral model.
