Renewable Certification Bill for Hydrogen Industry Referred for Senate Inquiry
Key Ideas
  • A bill has been referred for a Senate inquiry to certify renewable electricity and the carbon footprint of the emerging hydrogen industry.
  • The Guarantee of Origin scheme would be used to verify that fuel was produced using renewables rather than coal or gas.
  • The bill aims to create transparency and accountability in the hydrogen industry, boosting confidence in renewable energy sources.
  • The certification process is essential for ensuring the credibility and environmental benefits of hydrogen production.
A new bill has been introduced to establish a certification scheme for renewable electricity and the carbon footprint of the growing hydrogen industry. The bill would leverage the Guarantee of Origin scheme to demonstrate that fuel derived from hydrogen was produced using renewable sources, distinguishing it from fossil fuels like coal and gas. By ensuring transparency and accountability in the hydrogen sector, the legislation aims to enhance trust in renewable energy sources and promote the shift towards cleaner energy alternatives. The certification process outlined in the bill plays a crucial role in verifying the authenticity and environmental advantages of hydrogen production, providing consumers and stakeholders with confidence in the sustainability of the industry. The Senate inquiry will further scrutinize the bill to ensure its effectiveness in driving the adoption of renewable energy practices within the hydrogen sector.
