Agrinergy has committed to supporting the implementation of savannah fire management projects in the Northern Australia with the opportunity to generate Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCU). We understand these projects provide an opportunity for flow-on social benefits to the communities who may participate in these projects.
T.O.’s have a long understanding of using fire in northern Australia to actively break up country with Early Dry Season burns. Many have revived this traditional land management or have plans underway and want to benefit from creating ACCU’s.
The next steps from towards the issue of ACCU’s from traditional land management require the scientific and documentation processes that meet the requirements of the Clean Energy Regulator. Following this the credits are issued. Then optimising the value of your ACCU portfolio and negotiating a favourable sale will achieve the best outcome for your project.
Following your on ground action we can partner with your project to create carbon credits. We are able to fund and manage your project through to the issue of carbon credits and achieve the best results in selling these. We are also experienced in organising “forward sales” to enable T.O. groups to overcome funding gaps and get on with operational on ground activities sooner rather than later.
