Carbon Tailpipe Emissions Project 2023

Carbon Tailpipe Emissions Project 2023 is a land and sea transport project managed by Carbon Leasing and Rentals Pty Ltd, located administratively in Sydney, NSW. Registered in August 2023, the project operates as a "group of vehicles" aggregation rather than a site-specific land offset. As such, it does not have a fixed area size in hectares but instead encompasses a fleet of mobile assets, specifically land vehicles, operating across road networks, likely with a focus on New South Wales given the proponent's participation in state-based electric vehicle incentives.

The project operates under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative, Land and Sea Transport) Methodology Determination 2015. This methodology involves reducing emissions by improving the efficiency of vehicle fleets or switching fuel sources. In this specific instance, the project activities focus on replacing existing internal combustion engine vehicles with lower or zero-emission alternatives, such as electric vehicles (EVs). Carbon Leasing and Rentals Pty Ltd, trading as 'CarBon', specializes in EV leasing and subscription services, facilitating this transition for commercial and government fleets.

Because this involves mobile vehicle fleets rather than agricultural land management, traditional environmental metrics such as rainfall classification and soil types are not applicable. The "project area" is the existing transport infrastructure where these vehicles operate. The project also lists MAHAC Pty Ltd as a participant, a company that trades under names including 'Empire Carbon & Energy' and 'Carbon Soul', suggesting they may be providing carbon consultancy or aggregation services to support the project's compliance and credit generation.
