The ALGA has made a submission to the Reform Options paper for the Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) Scheme Landfill Gas Methods 2024, which seeks to improve the integrity and transparency of the methods.
The submission said that councils are at the forefront of dealing with climate change impacts and are committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
ALGA also said that for the ACCU Scheme to be effective, it must have integrity and transparency. The review into the ACCU Scheme Landfill Gas Methods is a good opportunity to further refine the policy settings to ensure ACCUs generated correlate to additional abatement above current technological advances and regulatory requirements.
ALGA said that it looks forward to continued engagement with the Federal Government on climate change and emissions reduction issues.
