Methodologies
Methodologies must be based on credible science and ensure that credits are only issued for genuine and additional reductions in greenhouse gases.
The Australian Department of Industries, Science, Energy and Resources is responsible for development of methodologies, with input from stakeholders and technical working groups. Before they can be used, methodologies must be assessed by the Emissions Reductions Assurance Committee (ERAC) and approved by the Minister for the Environment.
Information on method development and a list of current approved methodologies can be found on the Australian Department of Industries, Science, Energy and Resources website.
Information on using methodologies and participating in the Emmissions Reduction Fund is available from the the Clean Energy Regulator website.
