Reports on total number of Australian carbon credit units issued

The Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Act 2011 (the CFI Act) requires the Clean Energy Regulator to publish quarterly reports about the number of Australian carbon credit units (ACCUs) it has issued (s 161). Regular and accurate information about the supply of ACCUs can facilitate the establishment of the market, including in relation to price discovery.
