NG Energy Efficiency Optimisation Project (Revoked)

NG Energy Efficiency Optimisation Project (Revoked) is an industrial equipment upgrade project located at various undisclosed commercial and industrial facilities across Australia. It was registered in August 2019 and covers an unknown area due to its nature as an aggregated multi-site energy portfolio.

Industrial equipment upgrade projects involve improving the energy efficiency of industrial operations by modifying, removing, or replacing equipment, and changing the energy sources or the mix of energy sources used. Standard requirements for this methodology dictate that a project must measure energy savings and greenhouse gas emissions reductions against an established historical baseline to generate Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs).

Because the project does not rely on a specific plot of land, the regional land use is broadly commercial and industrial. Due to the lack of a single physical site or available coordinates, typical environmental conditions such as a specific rainfall classification (e.g., high rainfall or semi-arid) and localized soil types (e.g., basalt or clay) are strictly not applicable to this project. The project's registered activities were extensive and included air compression, boiler upgrades, fuel switching, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system upgrades, refrigerated display cabinets, process drives, and improved lighting, among many other operational equipment optimizations.

Interestingly, this project was formally revoked on November 3, 2023, under section 30 of the CFI Rule, which governs the process for the voluntary withdrawal of a project's registration by the proponent. Northmore Gordon Pty Ltd, the proponent (formerly known as Wattly), is a prominent environmental certificate creator that has managed over 5 million certificates across more than 40,000 commercial, industrial, and residential sites in Australia.
