Climate Solutions #3 Project (Revoked)

Climate Solutions #3 Project (Revoked) is an industrial energy efficiency project that was registered by Corporate Carbon Advisory Pty Ltd on March 10, 2020. Uniquely, the Clean Energy Regulator's public register lists this project's location as "Nation Wide", with no specific mapping files or project area provided. Without a fixed coordinate set or localized region, it is not possible to identify a nearest major town, distance, or regional land use. Similarly, environmental metrics such as typical rainfall classifications and soil types (e.g., basalt, clay, sandy loam) cannot be identified and are generally not applicable to this project due to its nationwide scope and industrial nature.

The project operated under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative-Industrial Electricity and Fuel Efficiency) Methodology Determination 2015. Industrial energy efficiency projects reduce emissions by upgrading equipment, reducing overall fuel consumption, or switching to lower-emission power sources. Specifically, this project improved energy efficiency by installing localized electricity generation equipment (generators) at sites where existing equipment previously consumed power directly from the electricity grid. The locally generated electricity was used to substitute grid consumption, effectively lowering overall carbon emissions.

An interesting fact about this project is that it was officially revoked on February 15, 2024, under section 30 of the CFI Rule. The proponent behind the project, Corporate Carbon Advisory Pty Ltd, is a prominent Australian multi-sector developer. Since its founding in 2010, the company has been involved in over 100 carbon projects across various methodologies and has successfully delivered millions of Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) to both the Clean Energy Regulator and commercial clients.
