Register of Offsets Projects

The Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Act 2011 (CFI Act) requires the Clean Energy Regulator to publish and maintain a web-based Register of Offsets Projects. An eligible offsets project is a project that involves activities that achieve greenhouse gas abatement and has been declared by the Clean Energy Regulator as an eligible offsets project under section 27 of the CFI Act.

The Register:

  • Lists certain information about each eligible offsets project (see section 168 of the CFI Act).
  • Can be used by buyers who wish to identify possible sources of Australian carbon credit units (ACCUs).
    • Is a point of reference for people wanting to buy land that has a sequestration offsets project on it so they can factor into the sale price the potential costs and benefits of the project. This includes information on the type of project, the location, the number of Australian carbon credit units issued, whether any units have been relinquished or if that land has a carbon maintenance obligation in place.

Important information about Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs)

  • The Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Act 2011 (the CFI Act) allows for the issue of Kyoto ACCUs if:
    • the eligible offsets project is an emissions avoidance project with a reporting period ending on or before 30 June 2012, or
    • the eligible offsets project is a sequestration project with a reporting period ending on or before 31 December 2012.
  • Projects that report after the Kyoto abatement deadlines must be issued with only Non-Kyoto ACCUs (NKACCU). Non-Kyoto ACCUs will be displayed in two ways within an ANREU account – NKACCU eligible and NKACCU voluntary.
  • NKACCU eligible are able to be surrendered under the carbon pricing mechanism. NKACCU voluntary are able to be sold on the voluntary market and cannot be surrendered under the carbon pricing mechanism.

The information in the Register about a particular eligible offsets project could change at any time. A declaration that the project is an eligible offsets project might be varied or revoked by the Clean Energy Regulator in the circumstances specified by the CFI Act. For example, if the Clean Energy Regulator discovers that the information given by a person in connection with an eligible offsets project was false or misleading.​
