 Greenhouse gas emissions from energy production in Victoria have risen by 30 per cent since 1990, new figures show, putting pressure on the state government to do more to tackle climate change.
Victoria's hefty increase, caused mainly by emissions from its Latrobe Valley brown coal-fired power stations, went against the Victorian government's policy of cutting greenhouse emissions by 60 per cent of 2000 levels by 2050, the report said.
Climate Group Australian director Rupert Posner said the state government was not doing enough to reverse greenhouse emissions.
