What is the ACCU Market? The Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) Market is a system where carbon credits, known as ACCUs, are traded. ACCUs represent a metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) emissions avoided or removed from the atmosphere through various carbon reduction or sequestration activities. The ACCU market allows entities to buy, sell, and trade these units as part of Australia’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet climate targets. Participants in the market include businesses, financial institutions, and government bodies aiming to offset their emissions or meet regulatory requirements.
