National Farmers' Federation joins calls for market mechanism to lower carbon emissions

NFF submission to Finkel review joins AGL, Energy Australia and Business Council in supporting mechanism such as emissions intensity scheme

The National Farmers' Federation has called for a market-based mechanism to secure clean and affordable energy, such as an emissions intensity scheme, joining a long list of organisations urging an end to Australia's policy impasse.

In a submission to the Finkel review, the NFF calls for the government to reconsider its opposition to an EIS and institute a market-based mechanism by 2020 because it would be the cheapest path to low-emissions power generation.
