A major milestone has been reached in Australia\u2019s path towards a cleaner and greener future, with the Clean Energy Regulator registering its 1000th<\/sup> project under the Emissions Reduction Fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A soil carbon project on a sheep and cropping farm in Gollan, NSW \u2013 just outside of Dubbo \u2013 was registered in August and marked the milestone under the growing scheme. Soil projects have accounted for a quarter of all new registrations under the Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) in 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst the program has been dominated by the agricultural sector, there is an increasing growth in the number of projects for industry. Our experience in ERF is widely driven by energy efficiency and alternate waste treatment activities – including a range of fuel switching, industrial equipment upgrades and anaerobic digestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A voluntary program, the Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) is managed by the Clean Energy Regulator and seeks to provide incentives for organisations and individuals to adopt new practices and technologies to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Projects earn Australian carbon credit units (ACCUs) that can be sold to generate income, either to the Government through a carbon abatement contract, or to private buyers in the private market. The average sale price across all government auctions is $12.32 per tonne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ERF\u2019s most recent report showed that the scheme had so far delivered 98.89 million tonnes in cumulative emissions reductions to July 31, 2021. The 100 million tonnes barrier is expected to be broken in coming months, with the Regulator expecting the ERF to credit 17 million tonnes of emissions reductions during 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction Angus Taylor<\/a> said the Emissions Reduction Fund is at the heart of the Government\u2019s technology-led plan to drive down emissions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs one of the world\u2019s most rigorous carbon offset programs, the Emissions Reduction Fund is driving genuine actions to help Australia meet and beat our climate goals\u201d<\/p>Minister Taylor said. <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Clean Energy Regulator has set targets to halve the development time of new ERF methods to less than 12 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
