Following the recent amendment to the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Rule 2015, we're almost finished adding more information on the Australia Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) Scheme project register.
This is a welcome change that improves transparency and shows how the ACCU Scheme works to accelerate carbon abatement for Australia.
On 19 June 2025, we published the following extra data to the project register:
- names of all authorised agents involved in a project
- detail on the activities being undertaken by each project to support carbon abatement
- for regeneration projects, any identified suppression mechanisms in the baseline period of the project.
Read our analysis of this newly added data.
Projects can now list any significantly involved persons in the register. This information is collected through project registration and crediting applications.
We have also recently released a new form allowing project proponents to provide supplementary information for publication on the project register. Providing this information will increase scheme transparency and show the market how projects are performing over time.
We will finish publishing the remaining extra information required under the Rule with the next project register update in July. This will include:
- the type of estimation or modelling approach used by the project to calculate carbon abatement
- the modelling start date for each carbon estimation area using FullCAM or Reforestation Modelling Tool to estimate abatement
- a link to any enforceable undertakings made with respect to the project.
The July release of the register will be the final publication of additional information under the recent Rule amendment.
