Climate Change Response Act- Emissions Trading Scheme
…forestry, liquid fossil fuels, stationary energy, industrial processes, agriculture, and waste. Owners of coal mines producing or stockpiling more than 2,000 tonnes of coal per year are required to participate in the scheme. The Government updated NZ ETS unit supply settings in August 2025, setting an emissions cap of 89.4 Mt CO₂-e for 2026-2030 and a provisional cap of 40.7 Mt CO₂-e for 2031-2035. Auction volumes of 16.9 million NZUs will be available over 2026-2030, and price control mechanisms (floor and reserve prices) remain in place and are indexed to inflation.

Inflation Reduction Act 2022: Sec. 13502 Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit
…phase out period for critical minerals production as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The credit will be reduced: By 25% for critical minerals produced in 2031By 50% for critical minerals produced in 2032By 75% for critical minerals produced in 2033; andEliminated for 2034 and beyond. Producers of critical minerals will be required to limit the sourcing of goods from "prohibited foreign entities." Tax credits for wind energy components will not apply to any components produced and sold after 2027.
