DIESEL AND ALTERNATIVE FUELS GRANTS SCHEME ACT 1999 - SECT 4
The Energy Grants (Credits) Scheme
- (1)
- The Parliament acknowledges that the Commonwealth intends to replace:
- (a)
- grants under this Act; and
- (b)
- the Diesel Fuel Rebate Scheme under the Customs Act 1901 and the
Excise Act 1901 ;
with an Energy Grants (Credits) Scheme to start on 1 July 2002 or earlier.
- (2)
- The purpose of the Energy Grants (Credits) Scheme will be to provide
active encouragement for the move to the use of cleaner fuels by measures
additional to those under this Act, while at the same time maintaining
entitlements that are equivalent to those under this Act and the Diesel Fuel
Rebate Scheme, including for use of alternative fuels.
- (3)
- In the case of diesel fuel, the Commonwealth intends to restrict
entitlements available under the Energy Grants (Credits) Scheme to ultra low
sulphur diesel from 1 January 2006 when a mandatory standard of 50 parts per
million of sulphur will come into effect.
