  • the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) (which was a proposal for an emissions trading scheme that would have established a market in greenhouse gas permits);
  • the Renewable Energy Target;
  • "investment in renewable energy technologies and in the demonstration of carbon capture and storage";
  • "action on energy efficiency."
