On August 10 2026, it was announced that Australia's Energy Commodity Resources 2026 was now available. Geoscience Australia’s latest edition of the Australia’s Energy Commodity Resources (AECR) publication confirms Australia’s position as a reliable, competitive and globally significant energy supplier, while highlighting the nation’s growing role in the clean energy transition.

Delivering a comprehensive assessment of the nation’s non-renewable energy resources as at the end of 2024, AECR 2026 reports that energy commodity exports generated $180 billion in export earnings in 2023–24 – around 27% of Australia’s total export earnings.

Australia ranked as the eighth highest primary energy producer across the globe, accounting for 2.7% of global energy commodity production in 2024.

Minister for Resources and Northern Australia Madeleine King has launched a new 10-year strategy for trusted geoscientific agency Geoscience Australia as the organisation celebrates its 25th anniversary and 80 years of geological and geophysical science in Australia.

Back in 1946, Labor Prime Minister Ben Chifley created the Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics to support and invigorate Australia’s post war mining industries.

Geoscience Australia was launched in 2001, taking over that work and combining it with mapping, positioning and satellite data services.

“Geoscience Australia and its predecessors have underpinned our nation’s prosperity for decades, ensuring we have a prosperous economy and as well as unlocking resources that drive local jobs,” Minister King said.
