Master Plumbers Australia and New Zealand (MPANZ) says it supports Jemena’s call to establish a renewable gas target in Australia. This endorsement comes as Jemena’s managing director, David Gillespie, urges the federal government to drive commercial investment in the renewable gas sector by implementing an aspirational goal.
In his address at a forum in Melbourne, David emphasised the success of the renewable energy target in sparking investment and market growth in the renewable electricity sector. He highlighted the need for a similar target for renewable gas, as it would provide a solid commercial signal for the importance of a low-carbon combustible fuel industry in the country.
By setting a renewable gas target, Australia would create a level of investment certainty for gas and biomethane, which can serve as a bridge to hydrogen.
“Renewable electricity is crucial for decarbonisation but requires complementary support to ensure reliability,” MPANZ Save the Flame Sub Committee chair Nathaniel Smith says.
“Gas power generation is an economical and reliable alternative when wind and solar energy is unavailable. It is critical in providing a stable energy supply for households and industries.”
MPANZ says it encourages public debate and information sharing on the topic to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the perceived benefits and opportunities associated with renewable gas. The Association is committed to working closely with industry peers and the government to promote the importance of a low-carbon combustible fuel industry in Australia.
