“The Green Ammonia Consortium (GAC)” was established as an independent General Incorporated Association to be registered under the Japanese Law. The GAC’s objective is development of a commercial CO2 free ammonia value chain toward low carbon society. Its membership is open for global entities which are interested in participating and are ready to contributing to the objective. We have 59 regular members (Japanease companies), 12 associate members ( foreign companies including 5 Australian ones)and 18 advisory members (Including CSIRO and 3 Australian states) as of June 3rd, 2020.

For the scheme you nominated above, what is the ideal date to have it in place by? - Why?

The consistency between an international certification and policies towards introduction of hydrogen/ammonia is significantly important. In Japan, discussion on policies towards the introduction has just begun. Based on the discussion, therefore, we desire Australia and Japan will reach a bilateral agreement on certification in 2022 at the earliest.

Not Answered

If a certification scheme was introduced, governments would need to consider how it interacts with existing domestic legislation and voluntary frameworks. For example, certifying renewable energy content for hydrogen production would require considering interactions with the Large Scale Renewable Energy Target. Other examples might include emissions reporting, energy market legislation, or building environmental certification schemes. - Which legislation or voluntary frameworks in your state might interact with a certification scheme?
