This latest report provides a concise overview of the significant changes that have occurred in petroleum refining and marketing in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region, the challenges and competitive pressures facing the domestic industry, and the importance of the industry to Australia's economic prosperity and energy security.

The AIP submission sets out the downstream petroleum industry views on the impacts of the proposed CPRS on the trade exposed Australian refining industry and options to ameliorate those impacts. In addition the submission outlines industry views on the proposed point of acquittal arrangements for emissions associated with the use of liquid fuels, and the arrangements for the 'cent-for-cent' fuel excise offset of carbon costs associated with the use of liquid fuels by some groups in the community.

AIP and its member companies take very seriously their roles in the product stewardship of their products. As part of this, and working with the Commonwealth Department of Environment & Heritage and Visy Industrial Packaging, we have developed a program to collect and recycle used plastic oil containers. This program has already been rolled out in Victoria, NSW, ACT, Queensland and South Australia, and will be extended progressively to other States.
