The Federal Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, Greg Combet, and the Parliamentary Secretary for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, Mark Dreyfus, released consultation draft regulations to support the Australian National Registry of Emissions Units.

 

The Registry will be used to track Australian carbon credit units generated under the Carbon Farming Initiative and Kyoto units issued under the Kyoto Protocol. It will also be the Registry for carbon units issued under the carbon pricing mechanism.

Comments on the draft regulations will be taken into consideration when finalising the regulations. Public submissions are due by 14 November 2011.
