Here’s what stood out this quarter:    💰 The spot price for Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) has risen to $36.25, and land-based credits, especially those from environmental planting projects with 100-year permanence, are trading even higher. ANZ forecasts that the spot price will double over the next 12 months.    🌳A brilliant uptake in new projects with 182 registered in Q3 2024. The projects mainly focused on soil carbon and vegetation methods, with 57 projects being registered under the Environmental Planting method before it was sunsetted on 1 October.    Both indicators point to growing demand and positive momentum in the carbon market. 🌱    Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/giaHqwAG    #farming #sustainableagriculture #climateaction #climatechange #sustainablefarming #environmentalsustainability #carboncredits

The Australian Government is offering new grants to establish Plantation Forestry projects 🌱    The 3rd round of the Support Plantation Establishment (SPE) grant program is now open and is designed to support new long-rotation plantation forests in Australia. This initiative is set to help the plantation sector meet growing domestic demand for timber while supporting sustainable forestry practices. Learn more about the grant here: https://lnkd.in/gXrnN_ch    How does this relate to carbon credits? 🌳    The SPE grant can work alongside a new Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCU) Scheme Plantation Forestry project. While previous rounds required ACCU Scheme approval before applying for the grant, this updated approach allows you to secure conditional SPE funding while your project is being assessed by the Clean Energy Regulator. Once your project is approved by the Regulator, the grant funding will be released.    The Carbon Farming Foundation has extensive experience delivering successful projects under the ACCU Scheme Plantation Forestry method.
