ACCU

Updated on
October 3, 2023

Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) are financial instruments awarded to eligible projects involving energy efficiency, renewable energy generation, and carbon sequestration. Each ACCU represents the avoidance or removal of one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2-e) GHG emissions. ACCUs are traded or sold on the national environmental commodity market through carbon market agents, allowing organisations to offset their carbon footprint or fulfil emissions reduction obligations.
