Project and contract register

We publish information about:

The ACCU Scheme project map is an interactive map of Australia which provides an overview of the volume, location and type of projects happening across the country.

The project register can be used by buyers who want to find possible sources of ACCUs. It can also be used by people who want to buy land that has an ACCU Scheme project on it. This will help them factor into the sale price the potential costs and benefits of the project.

The contract register may be used by market participants to determine the demand for ACCUs through the previous CER auction process. For more information see carbon abatement contracts

About the project register

Changes to the project register

The Minister for Climate Change and Energy has amended the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Rule 2015 to increase the amount of ACCU Scheme project information that will be published, as recommended in the 2022 Independent Review of ACCUs.

Over the next 6-months, we will transition the project register to publish the new information. The updates will be completed by 20 June 2025. We’ll work with ACCU Scheme participants to confirm the information to be published.

During this period, we’ll publish updates to the project register after the end of each month. We’ll also publish monthly updates to the contract register outside of any future exit window.

The project register and map shows the number, location and type of ACCU Scheme projects happening across Australia.

It includes:

  • a description of the project
  • location of the project
  • number of ACCUs issued
  • number of ACCUs relinquished
  • any carbon maintenance obligations in place.

About the carbon abatement contract register

The contract register includes information about:

  • carbon abatement contracts awarded by us
  • contract duration
  • end date and status
  • volume of ACCUs contracted, released and delivered for each contract
  • contract holder and ACCU Scheme project for each contract.

A total of 3,916,166 ACCUs have been sold under carbon abatement contracts to the Commonwealth since 12 January 2023. Under specific circumstances, these ACCUs will be available for use in the Safeguard Mechanism’s cost-containment measure.
