CALCULATING THE EQUIVALENT CARBON PRICE ON SYNTHETIC GREENHOUSE GASES Under the Australian Government’s Clean Energy Future Plan an equivalent carbon price will apply to synthetic greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol. This will be implemented through the Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management Act 1989. As a result, importers of these gases (in bulk Step 1 or contained in products and equipment), will Multiply the number of metric tonnes of gas be required to pay an equivalent carbon price by the global warming potential of the gas related to the global warming potential of these Step 2 gases. These gases are not manufactured in Multiply your answer from Step 1 by the Australia but any domestic manufacturer would applicable charge under the carbon pricing also be required to pay the equivalent carbon mechanism: price. • $23.00 in 2012-13 Calculating the equivalent carbon price • $24.15 in 2013-14 The equivalent carbon price is payable from • $25.40 in 2014-15 1 July 2012. It is determined by multiplying the number of tonnes of the carbon dioxide
