2024 Submissions to Government
- Preview Transport and Infrastructure Net Zero Roadmap [PDF 1.1 Mb]
- There are renewable, sustainably produced forms of LPG - namely bioLPG, rLPG and rDME - which are
recognised 'drop-in' fuel technologies, alternatives to diesel and natural gas that are viable not
only for transportation but for a range of household, commercial and industrial uses. They need to be part of the Roadmap... - Preview Future Made in Australia: Unlocking Australia's low carbon liquid fuel opportunity [PDF 677.2 kb]
- GEA welcomes the inclusion of Low Carbon Liquid Fuels (LCLFs) as part of the Future Made in Australia Act, recognising that many energy consumers require alternative options to the electricity grid – due either to restricted access to infrastructure or specialised energy needs. We urge close consideration of production capability to produce bioLPG, rLPG and rDME and the positive role these renewable provide in residential, commercial, industrial (including agriculture) and recreational settings...
- Preview Safeguard Mechanism - Best Practice Emissions Intensities Update [PDF 704.6 kb]
- GEA's submission supports the market-based approach for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), including Renewable Aviation Kerosene (RAK) and Renewable Diesel (RD). Additionally, we would urge recognition of all biofuels, including renewable propane and butane, that will be produced in the manufacturing of RAK and RD...
- Preview National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting System (NGERS) [PDF 648.2 kb]
- GEA's submission seeking acknowledgment in NGERS for all relevant and appropriate renewable SAF fuels from equivalent sources, including bioLPG. BioLPG and, ultimately, rLPG, are identical molecular compositions to conventional LPG and can currently be extracted from bio and/or renewable origin, including during RAK and RD production...
- Preview Electricity and Energy Sector Plan consultation [PDF 345.7 kb]
- GEA's submission to the Australian Government Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water's Electricity and Energy Sector Plan consultation.
- We are encouraged by our discussions with the Australian Government – at both ministerial and departmental levels – noting that LPG is different and can play a positive role via its renewable alternatives in residential, commercial, industrial (including agriculture) and recreational settings in Australia's emissions reductions targets while ensuring reliable, secure and affordable energy supply. In this regard, LPG is an important complement to electrification, providing millions of families and businesses with choice over the renewable energy that best suits them, being net zero over the same timeframe as the electricity grid without the hefty price tag, while relieving pressure on the grid...
- Preview Maritime Emissions Reduction National Action Plan (MERNAP) [PDF 343.5 kb]
- GEA's submission on the future of maritime fuels in Australia and the opportunity to adopt LPG - and by extension bioLPG and, ultimately rLPG - as the fuel of choice. It delivers an immediate 20% reduction in emissions today, that reduces to net zero with the arrival of bioLPG and actual zero though synthetic rLPG. It's also a major win for the marine environment in eliminating the risk of diesel-oil spills...
