CDMClean Development MechanismClean Development Mechanism is a Kyoto Protocol mechanism under which projects set up in developing countries to reduce GHGs generate tradeable credits called CERs.

The Kyoto Protocol, among other things, sets binding targets for the reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions by industrialized countries. It entered into force for ratifying countries in February 2006 and commits developed nations to collectively cut their greenhouse gas emissions by 5.2 per cent of 1990 levels by 2012. Came into force in Australia on 11 March 2008. mechanism under which projects set up in developing countries to reduce GHGs generate tradeable credits called CERsCertified Emission Reductions are credits generated under Kyoto's CDM. One CER unit is equivalent to the reduction of one metric tonne of CO2e. They are designed to be used by industrialised countries to count towards meeting their Kyoto targets. They can also be used as part of domestic targets, for example EU companies and governments use them as offsets against their emissions under the EU Emissions Trading Scheme.. The credits can be used by industrialised nations to help meet their Kyoto reduction targets. Find out more here. Registration No.2207-dated 29/12/2008)

The National Carbon Offset Standard was released by the Commonwealth Government in November 2009, to come into effect on 1 July 2010 coinciding with the cessation of the Government’s Greenhouse Friendly program. It is intended to ensure that consumers have confidence in the voluntary carbon offset market and the integrity of the carbon offset and carbon neutral products they purchase. It provides guidance to businesses who wish to make their organisation carbon neutral or develop carbon neutral products in a way that achieves emissions reductions, through the purchase and retirement of carbon offsets that are beyond those achieved by the CPRS and achievement of Australia’s national emissions reduction targets. compliant abatement currently includes Certified Emissions Reductions (CERsCertified Emission Reductions are credits generated under Kyoto's CDM.
