In a submission to the Australia Senate Committee on Environment and Communications in early August 2022, Google supported the government’s proposed legislation to reduce emissions to net zero by 2050 with an interim target of at least 43% by 2030 under the Climate Change Bill. The comment cited the need to urgently decarbonize the world’s electricity supply, including in Australia. In the same consultation, BP also stated support for Australia's 2050 and 2030 greenhouse gas targets to be legislated, and appeared to support further legislation to achieve these targets.
