The Clean Energy Regulator has issued 2 new Emissions Reduction Fund Guides – one guide for getting started in the Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF), and the other, for claiming and selling Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) that outline the requirements for Emissions Reduction Fund participants.
- The Participating in the Emissions Reduction Fund – Getting started guide provides an overview of the ERF, how it works and what you need to know to get started.
- The Claiming and selling ACCUs guide provides detail regarding reporting and auditing requirements as well as auctions, contracts with the Australian Government and options for selling ACCUs.
The above guides are part of a set of guides called Participating in the Emissions Reduction Fund.
Participating in the Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) is made up of a number of key parts:
- Market Entry: Enter the scheme by registering yourself and your project. This is known as market entry;
- Optionally, secure a contract with the Australian Government by participating in an auction;
- Run your project according to the method you have chosen to use;
- Report on your project and ensure audits are completed on schedule, and
- Claim and sell your ACCUs.
