Ndevr Aggregated Biomass Fuel Switch Project (Revoked)

The Ndevr Aggregated Biomass Fuel Switch Project (Revoked) was an industrial energy efficiency project operating on an aggregated, nationwide basis rather than at a single geographic location. Registered in October 2015, the project was designed to bundle multiple smaller activities, specifically boiler upgrades and fuel switching, across various Australian facilities. Because it was an aggregated project, it did not have a single set of coordinates or a specific project area size; instead, it encompassed equipment upgrades at multiple distinct sites.

The project operated under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative-Industrial Electricity and Fuel Efficiency) Methodology Determination 2015. This methodology credits emission reductions achieved by improving the energy efficiency of industrial equipment or switching to lower-emissions fuel sources. Specifically, this project focused on converting industrial boilers to run on biomass (such as wood chips or organic waste) instead of fossil fuels, while also upgrading equipment to improve general efficiency. By aggregating these activities, the proponent aimed to reduce the administrative burden for individual facility owners, allowing smaller upgrades to participate in the carbon market.

The project was voluntarily revoked in December 2017 under Section 33 of the CFI Act, a provision used when a proponent requests revocation and typically implies that no Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) were issued or that any issued units were voluntarily relinquished. The project proponent was Climate Positive Pty Limited, with the project name suggesting a strong structural or management link to Ndevr Environmental, a prominent Australian carbon market consultancy. As the project was revoked relatively early in its crediting period, it likely did not proceed to full issuance or was restructured.
