Role: Main
Australian National Registry of Emissions Units Act 2011 Establishes and Regulates Emissions Unit Registry in Australia.
The Australian National Registry of Emissions Units Act 2011 establishes and governs the Australian National Registry of Emissions Units. The Act details the operational specifics of the Registry, including the creation and management of Registry accounts used for tracking emissions units. The Act was amended in late 2014 to incorporate necessary changes following the enactment of the Carbon Farming Initiative Amendment Act 2014. The Registry serves as foundational infrastructure for schemes involving emissions units, such as the Emissions Reduction Fund, which was established in 2015 under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Act 2011.
