The Authority requested assistance from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) to provide input to its economic analysis for the Targets and Progress Review.
The CSIRO undertook economic modelling to quantify the emissions reduction potential from introducing various emission standards in light vehicles in Australia’s transport sector under various scenarios.
