Mining and Energy Law provides students with a comprehensive overview of the national electricity, resources and energy markets and how they are regulated. The second edition has been comprehensively updated to include new content on the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Australian Energy Market Commission, the gas export market, resource royalties and environmental impact assessments. It also discusses the impacts of climate change and environmental regulation on energy policies in Australia, including climate legislation, the regulation of renewable energy sources, initiatives such as carbon capture and storage, and the transition away from fossil fuels. Each chapter includes lists of further reading and review questions to engage students with the various aspects of the energy and resources sectors. Updated case and legislation extracts articulate the nature of the regulatory and statutory obligations that Australia's mining, offshore and onshore petroleum, natural gas and resources companies must adhere to.
