Australian National Registry of Emissions Units (ANREU)

The Australian National Registry of Emissions Units (ANREU) is a secure electronic system designed to accurately track the location and ownership of:

• emission units issued under the Kyoto Protocol,
• Australian carbon credit units (ACCUs) issued under the Carbon Farming Initiative, and
• carbon units issued under the carbon pricing mechanism.

You (organisations or individuals) are required to have an ANREU account if:

• you have an emissions liability,
• you need to hold (own) or transact in (transfer, cancel, surrender, relinquish) ACCUs, carbon units or Kyoto units in Australia, or
• you are going to receive free carbon units under the Jobs and Competitiveness Program.

The Australian National Registry of Emissions Units Act 2011 (ANREU Act) and the Australian National Registry of Emissions Units Regulations 2011 (ANREU Regulations) provide the legislative support for the administration of ANREU and are consistent with the Kyoto Protocol rules. ​​
