Smart Energy Council
THURSDAY MAY 13, 2021: The Smart Energy Council and Hydrogen Australia today announces the Victorian Government has become a Founding Partner in its Zero Carbon Certification Scheme.
“The Victorian Government is leading the nation in climate action and support for renewables and now it’s become a leader in renewable hydrogen,” said John Grimes,
Chief Executive of the Smart Energy Council.
“The Zero Carbon Certification Scheme is a certificate of origin scheme for renewable hydrogen, renewable ammonia and renewable metals. It’s an absolutely critical step in building the jobs and industries of the future,” said Mr Grimes.
Victorian Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change, Lily D’Ambrosio said: “This is exactly what is needed to accelerate renewable hydrogen in Australia. Once again State Governments and businesses are having to fill the climate policy vacuum left by the Federal Government.”
The Victorian government has signed up to a certification scheme that prevents fossil fuel hydrogen from being able to claim it is a zero carbon energy.
