Clean Energy Technology Lighting (Revoked)

Clean Energy Technology Lighting (Revoked) was a commercial energy efficiency project registered in August 2015 by Clean Energy Technology Holdings Pty. Ltd. Unlike land-sector projects that occupy specific coordinates, this project operated on an aggregated basis with a "Nation Wide" scope, meaning it involved activities across multiple sites throughout Australia rather than a single geographic location. Consequently, standard regional land use, rainfall, and soil classification metrics are not applicable; instead, the "environment" for this project consisted of various commercial, industrial, and public facilities requiring lighting upgrades.

The project operated under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative, Commercial and Public Lighting) Methodology Determination 2015. This methodology credits emissions reductions achieved by improving the energy performance of lighting systems, typically by replacing older, inefficient lights (such as halogen or fluorescent tubes) with energy-efficient alternatives like LEDs and installing control devices. The abatement is calculated based on the difference in electricity consumption between the old and new systems.

A significant note for this project is its revocation and contract performance. The project was revoked on October 8, 2018, under section 33 of the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Act 2011, which typically allows for voluntary revocation by the proponent. The project held a Carbon Abatement Contract (CAC102002) awarded in November 2015 for 2,400,000 Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs). However, the contract was listed as "Lapsed/Terminated" on June 29, 2021, with only 258,163 ACCUs delivered, approximately 10% of the committed volume.
