Of the 34 new projects, soil organic carbon (SOC) accounted for 21 of them. The latest monthly update by the Clean Energy Regulator also saw 90 projects earning a total just shy of 1.94 million ACCUs. Meanwhile, 11 projects - all of them SOC - were voluntarily revoked.

Carbon Eyes In the Loop. July was a busy month for developments across the Australian carbon market, from fresh controversy about INFM - the new method for managing public native forests - to a proposed cap on credited abatement at soil carbon projects.

Plantation forestry and environmental planting accounted for all but six of the new registrations. During the same register update period 94 projects earned a total of 1.86 million carbon credits, pushing issuance in the first half of 2026 to nearly 10.9 million ACCUs.

How three projects account for more than half the method’s ACCU issuance, and how only 53 have been issued with carbon credits so far.

Carbon Eyes In the Loop. June saw a range of developments across the Australian Carbon market from record ACCU issuance to an announcement of a new method for conserving native forests. Read more…

The latest Clean Energy Regulator data release includes 34 new ACCU carbon projects across Australia. The bulk of the projects are in Victoria (12) and NSW (9).

Carbon Eyes In the Loop. May saw us talking about the growing intersection between ACCU projects and the Nature Repair Market, the debate surrounding Tasmania's Rushy Lagoon property and other stories. Read more…

The Clean Energy Regulator is seeking feedback on proposed changes to the ACCU scheme.
We discuss the highest impact changes being proposed. Submissions close end May 26.

Carbon Eyes In the Loop. April saw a busy period across the Australian carbon market, with major ACCU issuances, new project registrations, annual Safeguard compliance data release and continued movement across the method pipeline.

This time lapse video from 2012 to today charts the growth of Australia's ACCU scheme.

In total 2923 ACCU projects have been registered with 2533 of these still active, and roughly one third of these having been awarded credits.

Carbon Eyes Curiosity: quick takes from the latest ACCU project register update.

Land footprint increases sharply across ACCU forestry methods

In a Quantum Commodity Intelligence interview, Carbon Eyes CEO Lionel Waker explains why forestry projects under Australia’s ACCU scheme grew 140% in land area in 2025.

30,000 ha will nearly match Tasmania’s existing plantation projects
A new ACCU plantation project on the Tiwi Islands (NT) links existing plantations with a Savanna Fire Management initiative and represents a significant share of ACCU plantation potential.

This recently registered ACCU plantation project in WA was planted in 2017.

So what makes it eligible to be a carbon project? Especially considering recent regulator attention on additionality.

What this project says about scale and limits

Large landscape projects highlight both the potential and constraints of ACCU supply.

Putting ACCU scale into perspective

We talk about the ACCU scheme a lot in abstract terms. Millions of tonnes here, safeguard targets there. It is hard to get a feel for what any of it actually means in the real world.

A closer look at fund–backed ACCU activity and what it means for investors

There are now close to 2,500 active ACCU carbon projects registered in Australia. Roughly 30% of those projects have been issued credits to date. The rest are still in development or early operational phases.

What high-quality ACCU procurement looks like

The University of Melbourne’s approach offers insight into how institutions assess integrity and credibility.

What large-scale plantings tell us about supply

The Glenclair project shows how scale, land aggregation and integrity influence future ACCU supply.

A new forestry method changes the equation

Schedule 3 projects are reshaping forest investment by keeping carbon stored and land productive. How a new ACCU method is keeping carbon in the ground and forests in production
