Our submission to the NSW Government’s consultation on ‘Opportunities for a renewable fuel industry in NSW’ commends the NSW Government for asking the right questions, seeking to better understand how a renewable fuels sector is developed in the most efficient and beneficial way.

We are firmly of the view that while renewable fuels may have a place in the energy mix for industrial users, this is not the case for households and small businesses.

There is mounting evidence to support transitioning households and small businesses to efficient, electric appliances. All-electric homes and businesses will not just help NSW reach its net zero targets, but are also the most affordable and healthy option for consumers.

The NSW Government must take advantage of the opportunity to support consumers to transition to homes and businesses that are healthier to live in and cheaper to run.
