The Carbon Farming Initiative and Carbon Credits
By MelisaLavalle at 22 February, 2012, 12:00 am
On 1stJuly this year the Carbon Tax will come into effect in Australia. The Australian Government have identified the ‘Top 500′; five hundred companies and organisations that produce the largest amounts of emissions. These top companies will have to offset their emissions metric tonne by metric tonne by purchasing carbon credits. With each company having to individually purchase enough to offset their emissions, and with each credit having a set price of $23 this is set to be a costly tax on the ‘Top 500′.
This tax was made under ‘The Clean Energy Future Plan’, a plan passed by the senate on the 8thNovember 2011 to help Australia with their green goals. Within this plan is the idea of creating ‘clean air’ for Australia. To create this clean air trees that take carbon out of the atmosphere via photosynthesis are grown on half hectare plots, creating a tangible asset of one metric tonne of clean air and one Australian Carbon Credit Unit. Put in place to regulate these ACCU’s is The Carbon Farming Initiative.
The Carbon Farming Initiative is a government scheme for the issue of ACCU’s in relation to eligible offset projects. All projects that create carbon credits are subjected to stringent checks to ensure that they are CFI compliant. What this means is that accreditation under the Carbon Farming Initiative leads to the creation of Kyoto-Compliant Australian Carbon Credit Units, allowing the credit to be traded on the open market and bought by the ‘Top 500′ big emitters.
The amount of pollution to be offset by these top emitters is huge. With very few CFI approved projects creating these carbon credits, smart investors involved in projects which create ACCU’s are set to make a huge profit. The carbon market is set to be the fastest growing market in the world; with such high demand and such low supply this current tax and the government legislation around it create the most lucrative investment available.
This type of project is obviously different from the ones available on the traditional investment market. Capital Alternatives have an exclusive fully CFI accredited project growing trees in the Gippsland region of Victoria creating carbon credits. With a low entry level and high returns far surpassing those on the traditional market, a Carbon Credit Investment with this company is the way to get involved in the carbon rush. An investment that is not only lucrative but also safe and ethical, with brokers who will be there every step of the way, this is THE way to get involved in the fastest growing and most profitable market in the world.
