Senior Representative, GHD,

2:15 pm

As demand for clean hydrogen, ammonia, steel and aluminium grows, and businesses outline their ambitions to reduce their emissions, we are working to provide world-class systems that can underpin and facilitate these initiatives. The Clean Energy Regulator is supporting the paradigm shift in energy production by building the supply of domestic emissions reduction offset markets; creating a new exchange traded market to increase price transparency and reduce transaction costs for businesses; and developing a simple method of transparency and accountability in demonstrating progress towards voluntary emissions reduction targets. By leveraging our experience in delivering robust and trusted schemes for tradable renewable energy and emissions reduction units, we can work with industry and across governments to collaboratively develop the next phases of vibrant carbon markets, including for hydrogen and derived products.
