| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立雲林科技大學 === 科技法律研究所碩士班 === 101 === Australia is blessed with abundant natural resources and fossil fuels, and it is also the largest coal export countries. However, the problem on the climate change and global warming climate change makes Australian government considering a new energy supply and demand structure. Australia is finding a balance among the environmental, economic and energy under the international enviromaental responsibility.
Australian Parliament passed the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act in 2000, then theMandatory Renewable Energy Target (MRET) system was implemented in 2001. 2011 to 2012 is an important period to Australia’s energy policy and law changes. Since January 1, 2011, Mandatory Renewable Energy Target scheme separated from single aim and single Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Market to two: Large Renewable Energy Target (LRET) and Large-scale Generation Certificate (LGC) Market; Small Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) and Small-scale Technology Certificates (STC) Market. Furthermore, in November 2011, the Executive Council of Australia issued Clean Energy Act, and implemented Carbon pollution cap. Since July 1, 2012, Australia passed a controversial new law enforcing the country''s 500 most-polluting companies to pay tax on their carbon emissions, which made Australians out crying and induced international attention. This study is trying to discuss Australia’s situation about renewable energy via literature review and data statistics analysis, and hope to give some suggestion to Taiwan in conclusion.
