An Australian Senate committee endorsed a government plan requiring LNG exporters to reserve up to 20% of their gas for the domestic market, starting January 2028 if passed. The bill still needs Senate debate, and the Greens and Coalition disagree with parts of its design.
Exporters and domestic gas producers oppose the scheme, arguing it would push prices down.
A domestic gas reservation would redirect Australian LNG supply and could lower east-coast gas prices, reducing energy and fertilizer input costs for Australian livestock and grain producers. The measure's passage is uncertain and its effect on global feed prices is small.
