Clean Technology Deployment Project (Revoked)

ERF164527

Project Information:

The Clean Technology Deployment Project (Revoked) was an industrial energy efficiency initiative designated as "Nation Wide" in scope. Registered in March 2021 by Corporate Carbon Advisory Pty Ltd, the project did not operate from a single geographic coordinate, but rather likely aimed to aggregate energy savings across multiple commercial or industrial facilities throughout Australia. As the project covered an unknown total area and has no specific location data, it is not possible to identify a nearest major town or specific regional land use.

The project operated under the Industrial Electricity and Fuel Efficiency methodology. This framework allows proponents to earn Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) by improving the energy efficiency of existing equipment, such as upgrading boilers, installing variable speed drives on motors, or optimizing HVAC systems. Projects under this method must demonstrate a reduction in energy intensity or absolute energy consumption compared to a historical baseline.

Given the project's nationwide and industrial nature, standard environmental classifications such as rainfall or soil type are not applicable. The operational environment for this project would have been within built infrastructure, factories, office buildings, or processing plants, rather than agricultural landscapes. Consequently, factors like soil composition (e.g., basalt or clay) played no role in the project's sequestration or abatement logic.

On October 11, 2024, the project was revoked under Section 30 of the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Rule 2015. A Section 30 revocation is voluntarily requested by the project proponent, suggesting Corporate Carbon Advisory chose to withdraw the project, possibly to restructure under a different method or due to commercial reassessment. The project listed an exceptionally broad range of activities, including cloud computing, glazing, and waste heat capture, indicating it was likely designed as a flexible vehicle to capture various efficiency upgrades across different client sites.
