[Q28, Q31]Own Project | The RECsRenewable Energy Certificates in Australia were previously issued by the Australian Government's Office of Renewable Energy Regulator prior to 1 January 2011. They were equivalent to one-megawatt hour of renewable electricity. As from 1 January 2011 certificates issued under the Renewable Energy Target are issued as LGCs or STCs. available from Fieldforce are derived from their publicly market heavily reduced and free hot water solar and heat pump supply / installations. Fieldforce also enables the transfer of other locally available Government incentives to roll into the offers they make to clients. On completion of these installations, the client transfers the rights of the renewable energy certificates (RECs) (created by the installation of the system) to Fieldforce, which they are then able to sell to others as voluntary (or compliance) offsetA carbon offset is an investment in a project or activity that reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or sequesters carbon from the atmosphere that is used to compensate for GHG emissions from your own activities.

General Information

[Q28, Q31]Own Project | The Enviro Saver Program includes a free site assessment, replacement of every incandescent globe with energy efficient light globes and replacement of shower heads with 3-star water efficient shower heads (on electric hot water). Advice is also given on other ways to save water and energy.

Price per tonne of CO2e [Q30] AU$6 - AU$20 as per market forces and volume

Project Type(s) [Q32] - Energy EfficiencyEnergy efficiency improvements refer to a reduction in the energy used for a given service (heating, lighting, etc.) or level of activity. Such savings are generally achieved by substituting technologically more advanced equipment to produce the same level of end-use services (e.g. lighting, heating, motor drive) with less electricity.

One VEEC is equal to 0.1 tonnes of CO2e of energy savings, which is accredited via a certificate system. Certificates are then surrendered to the scheme administrator to achieve compliance. Retailers will need to surrender a specific amount of certificates to ensure they are meeting their responsibilities for the overall reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

It is one of the first mandatory greenhouse gas emissions trading schemes in the world. GGAS aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production and use of electricity.

It certified carbon neutralA voluntary mechanism where an activity, event, household, business or organisation is responsible for no net emissions of greenhouse gases and can therefore be declared carbon neutral in that specific area. Carbon neutrality can be achieved by reducing emissions as far as possible (e.g. energy efficiency, purchasing renewable energy) and then purchasing offsets for any residual emissions in order to achieve zero net emissions. products and services and approved abatement credits for sale on the voluntary market. Applications for new abatement projects have closed. These were not considered eligible offsets under NCOSThe Commonwealth Government’s National Carbon Offset Standard (NCOS) came 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 cancellation of eligible carbon offsets. More Information and could not be retired for the purpose of becoming carbon neutral under the NCOS from 1 July 2010.

VERsVerified Emission Reductions or Voluntary Emissions Reductions are tradable credits for greenhouse emission reduction activities generated to meet voluntary demand for carbon credits by organisations and individuals wanting to offset their own emissions. VERs can be generated from projects to which a range of circumstances might apply, including:
- are either based in a country that has not ratified the Kyoto ProtocolAn international agreement linked to the UNFCCC and sharing its aim of stabilising atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, but requiring separate ratification by governments. 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.
