The Clean Energy Council (CEC) welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Australian Government’s Approach Paper on renewable electricity certification as part of the Guarantee of Origin Framework for Australia.
Decarbonisation commitments are gathering pace globally, and there is increasing demand for green and low-emissions products. The proposed Guarantee of Origin framework represents a landmark policy proposal, which will provide Australia with an essential mechanism to be able to demonstrate the environmental credentials of the products we produce, for both domestic and international consumption. This submission focuses on the design and implementation of a proposed Renewable Electricity Guarantee of Origin (REGO), which would be a subset of the overall guarantee of origin architecture.
