Would you like to subscribe to our mailing list to receive correspondence and updates on the Guarantee of Origin scheme?

Yes

How do you intend to participate with the GO scheme?

Producer

How do you plan to use GO certificates?

To sell a product (including renewable electricity) to a domestic customer
To sell a product (including renewable electricity) to an international customer
To demonstrate eligibility/compliance with Government programs (E.g. Hydrogen Headstart)
To evidence consumption claims

Do you consider the proposed enrolment process appropriate?

Well balanced

Please provide additional information if you don’t think the enrolment process is well balanced.

Yes. The new participant types reduce complexity and covers the main users of the scheme. The continued use of the mass balance chain of custody system is supported to ensure customers have confidence in the product they are buying.

Do you consider the proposed profile registration process appropriate?

Do you consider the proposed assessment process appropriate?

Well balanced

Please provide additional information if you don’t think the assessment process is well balanced. i.e. the minimum scope of LSTRs, the discretionary powers of the CER, etc

We are comfortable with the proposed arrangements.

Are the ongoing obligations proposed under the scheme appropriate?

Well balanced

Please provide additional information if you don’t think the ongoing obligations are well balanced. i.e. the proposed powers of the CER to maintain ongoing compliance

We are comfortable with the proposed arrangements.

Do you consider the proposed certificate creation process appropriate?

Well balanced

Please provide additional information if you don’t think the certificate creation process is well balanced.

Provided the ability to modify upstream and downstream data (energy inputs and downstream co-products etc) from time to time as inputs such as PPA’s change, what is proposed is acceptable.

Do you consider the proposed certificate completion process appropriate?

Well balanced

Please provide additional information if you don’t think the certificate completion process is well balanced. i.e. are there any types of data that are likely to cause errors in reporting

Do you consider the proposed certificate retirement process appropriate?

Well balanced

Please provide additional information if you don’t think the certificate retirement process is well balanced.

In some cases, this may be simple whereby the product is being used as a new input to a pre-existing process, such as transitioning an existing ammonia plant, and the preexisting data reporting arrangements can be leveraged. The continued outputs and associated data from the facility should be able to provide evidence the product has been consumed. In other cases, this could be through the use of meter data as in the case of gas network blending. It may be difficult to set export consumer data requirements as the product will not be consumed in this instance. The CER will need to consider how to manage this scenario through the use of shipping and port infrastructure data that may be available.

Do you consider the proposed ARC process appropriate?

Well balanced

Please provide additional information if you don’t think the ARC process is well balanced.

It may be necessary to require a more frequent reconciliation check in the first operational years of the project as data flows are smoothed, and regular operational routine is established.

Do you consider the proposed certificate correction process appropriate?

Well balanced

What information should be publicly available on the GO Registers compared to privately available information that can be shared?

We are comfortable with the proposed arrangements.

Please provide feedback on the product prioritisation and methodology development process

Fortescue has a view to which products should be prioritised and will formulate a response to the consultation for product prioritisation.
