Our impact

We deliver climate solutions from project activities.

Our involvement ensures emissions reductions, carbon sequestration and co-benefits for the environment, individuals and businesses.

We have delivered more than 8.8 million ACCUs to the Clean Energy Regulator and commercial clients.

Our projects

To date, the team has implemented more than 80 projects across Australia, with over 65 projects land based, including forest regeneration, afforestation, environmental plantings, beef cattle herd management and savanna fire management.

Our non land-based activities include transport, energy efficiency and lighting activities that have a national reach, assisting in achieving net zero emissions targets for partners.

Additionally, we have a portfolio of property in south west Queensland, which generate ACCUs through carbon activities and has delivered co-benefits including an increase in biodiversity, protection of riparian zones and enables community land use for indigenous groups that have a native land title in the area.

Stakeholder engagement

We work with a range of stakeholders and approach carbon activities with a proactive and innovative mindset, highlighted by the formation of our sister company, AgriProve, who have delivered the first soil carbon credits under the Climate Solutions Fund.

This project activity directly improves productivity and profitability for farmers, while achieving carbon sequestration.

What is an Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU)?

An Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) is a unit issued to a person/ organisation by the Clean Energy Regulator (Regulator) by making an entry for the unit in an account kept by the person in the electronic Australian National Registry of Emissions Units.

Each ACCU issued represents one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent stored or avoided by a project.

Issuance of ACCUs

Eligible activities are undertaken as ‘eligible offsets projects’.

There are numerous requirements that must be satisfied before a project can be declared an eligible offsets project, and there are ongoing requirements in undertaking an eligible offsets project.

The Climate Solutions Fund

The Climate Solutions Fund (CSF) was announced in February 2019 and builds on the success of the Emissions Reduction Fund. The CSF marks a new phase and aims to deliver a step change to the offsets market in Australia by boosting the supply of carbon units.

It will also help drive down transaction costs while maintaining integrity.

Emissions reduction projects can deliver new, diverse revenue streams for farmers and other scheme participants.

New incentives will be available to encourage the growth of carbon projects of all sizes across the economy.

Carbon markets and carbon action

To achieve the ambitions of climate action set by the Paris Agreement a high quality carbon market can play a crucial part.

It can provide flexibility and efficiency about where and when emissions are reduced, which can decrease costs of achieving climate related targets.

It can generate economic incentives for emissions reductions activities, which in turn could lead to innovations that provide environmental benefits.

It can encourage earlier action, ambition, and so accelerate global reductions.

Integrity of projects generating carbon credits

There is a need to ensure that the processes are robust to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement.

As more individuals and businesses move toward reducing their overall environmental footprint there is a demand for high quality credits.

High quality credits often depend on what the buyer is seeking. Co-benefits of projects that involve one or more Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are often viewed favourably. International frameworks such as the SDGs can assist in maintaining standards.

In Australia, the Carbon Market Institute, as the industry body for Australian project developers, has  established the world's first code of conduct for developers.

The Regulator and code of conduct ensure that the correct processes are undertaken by all, while we continue our collective journey to limit the impacts of climate change.

Processes and methods

We are experts in the technical side of the process set in place, internationally, by the Paris Agreement and domestically by the Regulator.

The Regulator is a key Australian Government body responsible for accelerating carbon abatement for Australia through the administration of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Scheme.

Corporate Carbon Advisory are experts in the process of the creation of carbon credits from project inception to sale. We help to manage other technical factors to ensure environmental and economic benefits are realised.

We are market leaders in the carbon abatement space and can assist your project through the process to help you achieve the full benefits from your emissions reduction activities.
