Completed Project
The project aimed to enable development of new ERF methods suitable for the pig industry by providing technical material to the Federal DEE.
The project was conducted in consultation with the Federal DEE and industry, and the specific objectives were developed and reframed during the course of the project based on this consultation.
The Emission Reduction Fund (ERF) is a voluntary incentive scheme that enables producers to generate revenue by reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) or sequestering carbon. For participants to claim abatement and generate Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs), they must use a specified ERF methodology determination (method). This project looked at existing methods and also consider new technologies that were fed into an ERF Method relevant to pigs.
