We have released the first stage of the new Unit and Certificate Registry, which is a world-class system designed to support Australia’s expanding carbon and environmental markets.
The registry provides a modern, secure place to hold and transfer multiple unit and certificate types and will connect with external digital trading platforms.
Units held in Australian National Registry of Emissions Units (ANREU) accounts will be progressively transitioned from the current system to the new registry. Safeguard Mechanism credit units (SMCs) will be the first units to be held in the new registry when they are issued for the first time in early 2025.
Australian carbon credit units (ACCUs) and international units held in ANREU accounts will continue to be accessible and managed through the existing ANREU system until they are moved to the new registry.
We will progressively bring other units and certificates that we administer into the new registry over the next year.
You can access your ANREU account in the new registry.
Access the new registry now through Online Services.
