This stream of BushBank is implemented by our deliver partner, Cassinia Environmental. The government has set a target of 20,000 hectares of restored land, creating habitat for native wildlife and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Cassinia Environmental is recruiting private landowners to participate in this ambitious and exciting opportunity.
Concessions on electricity rates are available for green hydrogen producers. What do you get? Concession amounts vary. Who is this for? Green hydrogen producers. Overview If you produce or plan to produce green hydrogen, you can apply for a range of concessions to lower your electricity costs. Electricity is currently the largest cost input for hydrogen production. By taking advantage of these concessions, you can produce green hydrogen at a lower cost and be more competitive with incumbent fuels. Check if you can apply To be eligible for the concessions, you will need to produce ‘green hydrogen’. Green hydrogen is defined in the various relevant legislation as hydrogen that is produced using renewable energy.
