Carbon market infrastructure for holding and trading certificates and units: Comment sought

The Clean Energy Regulator is seeking your feedback on the discussion paper: Enabling deep, liquid, transparent and accessible carbon markets in Australia to:

  • identify market needs and priorities for establishing new market infrastructure; and
  • test the feasibility of an Australian carbon credit unit exchange trading model. 

Carbon markets play an important role in supporting Australia to meet its legislated climate targets.  The Regulator supports carbon markets through processes that record, track and monitor the trading of:

  • Australian carbon credit units (ACCUs)
  • Safeguard Mechanism credit units (SMCs)
  • large-scale generation certificates (LGCs)
  • small-scale technology certificates (STCs).

This consultation is open to:

  • participants in our schemes, including entities creating, holding and trading carbon units and certificates
  • safeguard facilities
  • carbon market participants
  • consultants
  • brokers and intermediaries.

Feedback is sought by 22 November 2024 via the online survey.
