Emission Reduction Assurance Committee

The Emissions Reduction Assurance Committee will play an important
ongoing role by providing advice directed to maintaining the integrity of
the Emissions Reduction Fund. The Committee will review methods to
ensure they can deliver real and additional emissions reductions.


The Clean Energy Regulator will conduct auctions to purchase emissions
reductions at the lowest available cost. Auctions create competitive
pressures and are commonly used in Australia and overseas to purchase
other types of environmental goods and services

The safeguard mechanism will only apply to a small number of large
facilities currently reporting information under the National Greenhouse
and Energy Reporting Scheme. It will not require new mandatory reporting
obligations.

The safeguard mechanism will commence from 1 July 2015
