Climate Solutions #2 Project
ERF154513
Project Information:
Climate Solutions #2 Project is an industrial energy efficiency project that operates on a nationwide basis across Australia, rather than being confined to a single geographic site. Registered in March 2020, the project is managed by Corporate Carbon Advisory Pty Ltd and falls under the "Industrial Electricity and Fuel Efficiency" methodology. Because the project is registered with a "Nation Wide" location scope, it likely functions as an aggregation of multiple smaller sub-projects, such as solar installations or equipment upgrades, spread across various industrial or commercial facilities throughout the country.
The project operates under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative-Industrial Electricity and Fuel Efficiency) Methodology Determination 2015. This methodology credits the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions achieved by improving energy efficiency or displacing grid-sourced electricity with on-site renewable energy generation. In this specific case, the project activities focus on installing equipment (likely solar PV systems) to generate electricity on-site, directly substituting the need for electricity from the grid.
Given the nationwide and aggregated nature of the project, a specific analysis of local environmental conditions, such as rainfall or soil types, is not applicable in the traditional sense. Instead of agricultural land types like basalt or clay, the "terrain" for this project is the built environment, specifically industrial and commercial rooftops or facilities where energy consumption is high. The project's crediting period runs from July 2020 to June 2027, during which it generates Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) by lowering the carbon intensity of the businesses involved.
