Unless specifically permitted by a project’s method, a project is not eligible for registration under the ACCU Scheme (formerly known as the Emissions Reduction Fund) if it:
- has commenced before it has been registered with the Clean Energy Regulator (the newness requirement)
- is required to be carried out by or under a Australian Government, state or territory law (the regulatory additionality requirement)
- is likely to be carried out under another Australian Government, state or territory government program in the absence of registration under the ACCU Scheme (the government program requirement).
If you are unsure of your eligibility to participate in the ACCU Scheme, you can use the Interactive ACCU Scheme Questionnaire below to help determine if your project meets the scheme’s requirements.
The questionnaire is a pilot tool for our clients and we value your feedback. The feedback we receive will inform ongoing improvements to the questionnaire and future updates. You will be presented with an option to complete a survey at the end of the questionnaire.
If you know someone who may benefit from using the questionnaire, you can also share it with them now on Twitter.
