𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗡𝗼 𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗲: record ACCU issuance from projects with 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀. ACCUs issued for Environmental Planting (𝗘𝗣) projects 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 largely due to 2 Woodside Energy projects with 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀: Woodside Pluto Carbon Offset Project - Stage 1 & 2. The projects are in NSW and WA. The number of credits issued to these 2 projects last month (945 000) is 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗘𝗣 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝟯 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀. While 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 is a core part of the scheme, the Clean Energy Regulator can 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 specific project information (such as exact spatial boundaries or location data) if an application is made and they are satisfied the suppression is required for one of two reasons: To protect or respect 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, or to ensure publication does not threaten, damage or cause harm to a 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 or threatened species. Tree cover gain data (see image) may give clues to the location and size of these projects to help establish future EP 𝗔𝗖𝗖𝗨 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀, but there will always be a degree of uncertainty around these estimates. #ACCU #EnvironmentalPlantings #Transparency
