Aggregated Bio-energy Boiler Project

Aggregated Bio-energy Boiler Project is an energy efficiency project located across multiple aggregated industrial sites nationwide, with specific operations noted in New South Wales and Tasmania. It was registered in March 2017. Because this is an aggregated industrial project spanning multiple undisclosed sites across the country rather than a single designated land area, specific geographic landmarks, regional land uses (such as grazing or cropping), typical rainfall classifications, and soil types cannot be distinctly defined and will naturally vary depending on the individual boiler locations.

Energy efficiency projects operating under the Industrial Electricity and Fuel Efficiency methodology involve reducing greenhouse gas emissions by modifying, removing, or replacing existing energy-consuming equipment. In this project's case, the standard requirements focus on fuel switching, specifically upgrading and transitioning industrial equipment to utilize bio-energy. The methodology requires project proponents to robustly measure abatement by calculating baseline emissions using a regression model determined from precisely measured fuel and electricity inputs.

An interesting fact about this project is that the proponent, Climate Positive Pty Limited, previously operated under the corporate name Ndevr Carbon Reductions Pty Ltd. The project originally secured a fixed delivery carbon abatement contract (CAC541656) during the December 2017 auction, committing to deliver 147,200 Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) to the Commonwealth. However, registry records indicate that this contract officially lapsed or was terminated on 14 June 2019, and zero abatement volume was ultimately sold to the Commonwealth under this specific agreement.
