Australia's land-based carbon offsets projects have so far come through the bushfire crisis largely unscathed, according to the companies that own them.
On behalf of Woodside, Greening Australia will embark on a new nature-based carbon offset project that will deliver a million tonnes of abatement over 25 years.
A federal committee is investigating why businesses are largely ignoring five ERF energy efficiency methods, and whether two others designed to prevent clearing are sufficiently robust.
The Clean Energy Regulator has approved one of Australia's largest carbon businesses to earn credits through a new energy project, and has also approved a project by one of the country's largest agribusinesses.
The federal government should establish an accreditation standard for carbon credits created by projects that provide other environmental and social benefits, says a Climate Change Authority study released today.
Banks, governments and farmers can turn Australia's land-based carbon offsets into an industry worth billions of dollars that creates thousands of jobs, according to a new industry roadmap.
ERF soil projects are yet to create a single carbon credit, but there is plenty of work afoot and their strategic importance can't be ignored, according to Matthew Warnken of Corporate Carbon.
