The future of gas: Renewable Gas
Renewable Gas is being developed as part of Australia’s future energy mix. One example is biomethane made from organic materials like agricultural waste and food scraps.
It’s designed to work through the same gas network and appliances already used in many homes today. That means your existing appliances may be able to use renewable gas in the future.
Renewable Gas is one of the ways the gas network is evolving over time while continuing to support homes already connected.

What to do if you smell Gas
1. Recognise
Gas smells like rotten eggs or cabbage and can signal a potential leak.
