Environmental Markets Australia Lighting Project (Revoked)

Environmental Markets Australia Lighting Project (Revoked) is a commercial and public lighting energy efficiency project located nationwide across Australia, rather than at a specific geographic landmark. It was registered in November 2017 and covers an unknown area size, as the project involves upgrading lighting systems across multiple types of serviced areas rather than a single rural land parcel. Because the project coordinates and specific area are listed as nationwide, there is no single nearest major town or city. Consequently, traditional regional land uses like grazing, cropping, or forestry do not apply to this infrastructure-based project.

Commercial and Public Lighting projects involve modifying, replacing, and supplementing existing lighting systems in commercial or public spaces to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Standard requirements dictate the use of approved, energy-efficient technologies to generate abatement. For this project, activities included installing 240V LED lamps, compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) with and without integrated ballasts, lighting control devices, and various other high-efficiency luminaires.

Similarly, because the project focuses entirely on indoor and structural energy efficiency upgrades across multiple urban or commercial locations, specific environmental conditions such as typical rainfall classifications and soil types (e.g., basalt, clay, or sandy loam) are completely inapplicable.

This project was initiated by the proponent Environmental Markets Australia Pty Ltd, with The Sigma Global Company Pty Limited serving as the project agent. As an extra note of interest, the project's crediting period was originally set to run from January 2019 to December 2025, but the project was officially revoked on 11 August 2022 under section 30 of the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Rule. Additionally, public registry records show that Environmental Markets Australia Pty Ltd has historically collaborated with Sigma Global Company Pty Ltd as a focal point entity under the UNFCCC Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
