The ACCUs tag page on Northmore Gordon (northmoregordon.com/tag/accus/) is an archive listing news and articles related to Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs), including monthly market updates, company milestones, and explainer articles.

What is an Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU)?

An Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) represents one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent stored or avoided by an eligible scheme project, issued through the ACCU Scheme, which is the regulatory framework applied in Australia for carbon credit projects.

Does the ACCU Scheme issue credits for every emissions reduction a company reports?

No. The ACCU Scheme applies specific methods, registration, and reporting requirements to particular projects, and it does not issue credits for every reduction shown in a company's emissions inventory—only eligible projects meeting defined criteria receive ACCU issuance.

What articles are listed on the ACCUs archive page?

The page lists: 'Australian Certificate Markets – March Update' (April 1, 2026), 'Australian Certificate Markets – February Update' (March 1, 2026), 'Australian Certificate Markets – January Update' (February 2, 2026), 'Our Journey 2009-2025' (December 23, 2025), 'Australian Certificate Markets – November Update' (December 8, 2025), 'Australian Certificate Markets – October Update' (November 4, 2025), 'Demystifying the Safeguard Mechanism and the ACCU Market' (March 20, 2025), '13th Auction Results Cap a Big Month for the ERF' (October 25, 2021), and 'Clean Energy Regulator's latest report shows Australia is on track for a low carbon future' (July 1, 2021).

What are the stages of an ACCU project's development?

ACCU projects progress through distinct stages: Technical Opportunity (an intervention may reduce emissions), Method Assessment (the activity is examined against an applicable method), Project Registration (the project is accepted into the scheme), Monitoring and Reporting (required project information is collected and submitted), Unit Issuance (ACCUs are issued for an accepted claim), and Transfer or Cancellation (ownership or use changes through the relevant registry process).

How does the ACCU Scheme distinguish between emissions reduction and carbon removal?

Avoiding an emission and storing carbon are treated as different physical outcomes under the ACCU Scheme. The terminology used should be supported by the applicable method and evidence, and an efficiency project should not be relabeled as carbon removal merely because its result is expressed in tonnes of CO₂-equivalent.

Northmore Gordon's certificates page also covers International Renewable Energy Certificates (IRECs), Tradable Instrument for Global Renewables (TIGRs), Energy Savings Certificates (ESCs), Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs), Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), and Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs).

How is an ACCU different from an STC according to the knowledge base?

ACCUs belong to their own dedicated programme used for emissions reduction or energy savings and are distinct from other environmental instruments such as STCs (Small-scale Technology Certificates) or renewable-energy attributes; these instrument types should not be treated as interchangeable.
