A freeze on land-based ERF projects in Western Australia will end if new state government proposals are accepted, allowing pastoralists to earn money from revegetation.
Highlights include new long-awaited ERF guidance from the Clean Energy Regulator, and a Victorian parliamentary hearing into waste and recycling. Jobs include a senior post managing NSW's contribution to national energy policy.
A Footprint analysis of carbon credit projects, renewables investment and energy productivity initiatives shows NSW has snared the lion's share of ERF revenue, and Queensland is set to dominate large-scale solar.
An ERF contract to supply four million tonnes of greenhouse gas abatement to the government has fallen over, and another for a similar amount is at risk.
