The large and small-scale renewable energy schemes and the ERF performed well in 2020, and all signs point to more good results this year, according to the Clean Energy Regulator.
The South Australian government is using the paucity of ERF vegetation projects in the state to bolster support for a Bill that would introduce 100-year pastoral leases.
A legal dispute between farmers hosting an ERF project and a couple seeking to mine for opals has ended with a court awarding the farmers modest compensation.
Carbon offsets company CO2 Australia has emerged as the biggest winner in round one of Queensland's Land Restoration Fund, receiving $33.63 million out of $91 million awarded.
There are a large number of new solar and wind farms in the pipeline, plenty more ERF projects on the way, and a "surge in demand" for the certificates and credits they create, according to new data from the Clean Energy Regulator.
