🌟 Breaking News: Future Made in Australia Legislation Passed! 🌏💡 The Albanese Government’s Future Made in Australia legislation has just passed the Senate, marking a major milestone in Australia’s journey toward a net-zero economy. This transformative legislation is a game-changer for clean energy and industrial growth. Here's why: 🔋 Boosting the Hydrogen Economy The legislation establishes: - A National Interest Framework to prioritise sectors critical to achieving net zero, including renewable hydrogen, green metals, and low-carbon fuels. Production Tax Incentives to support the growth of hydrogen and critical minerals industries. - The Guarantee of Origin (GO) Scheme, certifying low-emissions products and enhancing global competitiveness. 🌍 Empowering Communities and Workers - Embeds Community Benefit Principles to ensure clean energy investments deliver real benefits to local workers and communities. - Reinforces funding for the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to enable groundbreaking renewable energy projects. 📈 Providing Investment Certainty The legislative package delivers: - Clarity and cooperation for investors, enabling the growth of new industries in Australia. - Support for Australia's ambition to become a renewable energy superpower, creating secure, well-paid jobs nationwide. This is about more than clean energy—it’s about economic growth, resilience, and opportunity for all Australians. With this legislation, Australia is taking a bold step to compete with global leaders like the United States and Europe in the race to net zero. Similar to the U.S.'s tax credits for clean hydrogen production and the EU's comprehensive framework for decarbonising gas markets, Australia's approach combines rigorous certification (GO Scheme), investment certainty, and community benefits to position itself as a frontrunner in industrial transformation and global decarbonisation efforts. This legislation solidifies Australia's ambition to become a renewable energy superpower, ensuring its place in shaping the future of the global economy. #FutureMadeInAustralia #Hydrogen #NetZero #Decarbonisation #CleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy #EconomicGrowth

🌍 Empowering Africa’s Energy Future 🌍 In collaboration with Invest Africa Ltd, we hosted an enlightening panel of experts yesterday in London to discuss strategies for overcoming the challenges facing the continent’s energy sector. The focus was on policy regulation, navigating the risk landscape, and methods to attract increased investment in the clean energy sector. Africa’s burgeoning population necessitates a substantial increase in expenditure within the continent’s energy sector to meet the rising demand for energy. To attract the required investment levels, prompt action is required from both governments and businesses across the continent. A big thank you to Philip Thomson, Tim Streeter, Nwanne Modunkwu and Nisrin Abouelezz, MBA for such an insightful discussion. We look forward to partnering with Invest Africa Ltd again in the near future to explore more topics that impact business and investment on the continent. #EnergySector #CleanEnergy #InvestAfrica #SustainableDevelopment #AfricaRising
