The Guarantee of Origin (GO) Scheme will support the transition of Australia’s economy to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

The first ACCUs have been issued under the carbon capture and storage method in Moomba, South Australia.

The CER has today released its Q2 Quarterly Carbon Market Report (QCMR), which provides insights and analysis on Australia’s carbon markets and associated programs.

Early figures show strong interest in solar batteries after 1 month of eligibility under the SRES.

Our Q1 Quarterly Carbon Market Report (QCMR) indicates 2025 is likely to be a strong year for carbon markets.

In 2024, schemes administered by the CER are estimated to have reduced emissions by at least 69.2 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2-e), up 8% from 2023. This is expected to rise to at least 72 Mt CO2-e in 2025.

The latest report shows record levels of new renewable energy capacity are being added as the transition to 82% renewable energy gathers pace.

The CERT report 2024 has been published with twenty-two large Australian companies transparently reporting their progress.

Our quarter 2 report estimates that total added renewable energy capacity could exceed 7 gigawatts (GW) this year.
