What is Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs)?

Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) are a financial instrument awarded to eligible energy efficiency, renewable energy generation, and carbon sequestration projects that result in a reduction of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. One ACCU represents the avoidance or removal of one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2-e) GHG.

What value is an ACCUs to me?

ACCUs are a financial product that can reduce the total capital expenditure for your emissions reduction project.

ACCUs are traded or sold on the national environmental commodity market, to organisations looking to offset their carbon footprint or meet emissions reduction obligations.

ACCUs are also purchased by the Federal and State Government in a commitment to decarbonise Australia’s economy through emission reduction projects like yours.

Is my project eligible for ACCUs?

Projects expected to improve energy efficiency, generate renewable energy, and sequester GHG emissions through avoided release, capture, and treatment processes are generally eligible to create ACCUs.

Projects must also fulfill three criteria:


  • Newness: Projects must not have started or surpassed preliminary development stages;

  • Additionality: Projects must not be undertaken in response to a mandatory obligation or receiving incentive from any other scheme or administration, and;

  • Audit & Compliance: Projects must be undertaken in accordance with methodology requirements and reported to the regulator accompanied with registered Greenhouse and Energy auditor compliance reports.


How do I receive ACCUs?

Eligible projects claim ACCUs through the Federal Government’s Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF). The ERF is the only national scheme offering technology-agnostic emissions reduction incentives. Secure the maximum return possible for your project with our complete ACCUs management services. Guiding you through all of the requirements of the ERF Scheme. With a wide variety of clients, ranging from bespoke large single sites to smaller aggregated projects, we have a service offering to suit your project.

ACCUs Trading Services

Demand for Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) continues to surge domestically.

To date, carbon credits trades in Australia typically involve the purchaser and seller entering into carbon credit offtake agreements, which can entail complexity and cost.

Equipoised Group now offers a carbon trading platform that businesses could engage with to purchase or sell credits and meet their emissions reductions commitments.

We allow opportunities to increase ease of trade, expand price transparency, reduce barriers to entry, and facilitate more businesses participating in carbon markets.
