Resource Overview

The Full Carbon Accounting Model (FullCAM) is used to construct Australia’s national greenhouse gas emissions account for the land sector. It models a “baseline scenario” (in which the land would normally be cleared) and a “project scenario” (in which the land is no longer cleared). The reference guide provides basic information about eligibility criteria and obligations that must be met to earn ACCUs from an avoided clearing of native regrowth project.
