If you do not already have a registered project, you have until 11:59 pm tonight, Thursday 18 February 2021 (EDT) to submit your project registration application or you will miss out on the 12th Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) auction.
Applications not received by 11:59 pm tonight will not be eligible to participate in the auction to be held on 12 and 13 April 2021. If you are unable to make this deadline, your project may still be eligible to participate in future auctions, however you will not be eligible for the funding on offer as part of auction 12.
