Explanatory note
This note is not part of the regulations but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations amend the Climate Change (Eligible Industrial Activities) Regulations 2010 to—
update the allocative baselines for products of eligible industrial activities; and
make technical changes to the description of the eligible industrial activities for the production of carbamide (urea) and protein meal; and
remove the production of gelatin and the production of newsprint as eligible industrial activities.
These regulations come into force on 1 January 2025, except for the provisions that remove production of gelatin and newsprint as eligible industrial activities, which come into force on 1 January 2027. The updated allocative baselines will apply in determining the level of allocation that a person is entitled to receive for 2024, even if they have already received a provisional allocation before these regulations come into force.
Date of notification in Gazette: 19 December 2024.
These regulations are administered by the Ministry for the Environment.
