The MPRAR26 regulations follow the assent of the Petroleum Legislation Amendment Act 2024 (PLAA24) which, amongst other things, amended the existing suite of petroleum legislation to:
- provide a legislative framework for pipeline transport and permanent underground storage of greenhouse gas substances;
- enable the exploration and recovery of ‘regulated substances’ (proposed to be prescribed as hydrogen and helium);
- provide for electronic transactions; and
- provide for additives to be added to petroleum
