National Oil Reserves Agency (Amendment) and Provision of Central Treasury Services Bill 2020

Public bill · Government · Presented

Raises the levy on petroleum products into a fixed legal charge of 2 cent per litre, and lets part of that money be redirected from oil-reserve work into a new Climate Action Fund. That fund can support projects, research and other work to cut emissions, grow renewable energy, improve energy efficiency, and help communities and sectors affected by the move to a low-carbon economy. It also gives the State’s treasury agency a role in handling short-term cash needs for NORA and Irish Water, and makes a few related changes to biofuel rules and charges.
