A new report by the Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre models how Western Australia’s fossil-fuel export earnings could change in a net-zero future. Across one scenario, the value of fossil fuel exports is projected to decline markedly by 2050. The outlets report that exports could drop by as much as $28 billion, falling to around $11 billion by 2050. The coverage is based on the report’s modelling rather than direct changes already underway, and it frames the figures as contingent on how the transition to net-zero unfolds. The articles present the projections as part of an assessment of potential economic impacts for Western Australia, focusing specifically on export values rather than broader outcomes such as employment, energy prices, or government policy responses. While the exact assumptions and scenario boundaries are not detailed in the excerpts provided, all sources describe the same central result: under a net-zero scenario, Western Australia’s fossil fuel export earnings are expected to be substantially lower by mid-century.
