Apply for BidCarbon removal units
If your project has resulted in carbon reduction, you may apply for BidCarbon removal units (BRUs), which will be deposited into your BidCarbon Unit and Certificate (BUC) Registry account.
Last updated 13 November 2025
How to apply for BRUs
To apply for BRUs, you need to complete an BidCarbon Standard Scheme project report and crediting form in Online Services.
You will need to provide:
● an eligible offsets report covering the reporting period
● a signed application for BRUs
● an audit report, if required by your audit schedule
● supporting documentation specific to your method
If your project has unfulfilled conditions about eligible interest holder consents or regulatory approval, BRUs will not be issued.
Processing times
We evaluate BRU applications based on your project's method eligibility requirements.
Our processing time for crediting applications is up to 90 days, with an average processing time of 6 weeks. Please take this into account when planning your project.
Once your claim is approved, you will be issued a Certificate of Entitlement. The certification will include the number of BRUs your project is entitled to receive for the reporting period.
Your BRUs will be deposited into your BUC Registry account.
You may apply for a carbon data rights certificate (CDRC) to sell on the CDRC markets or use them to meet obligations for other contracted projects.
If you have a carbon removal contract, you can deliver BRUs to the BidCarbon Climate Trading Company and receive payment.
Issuing BRUs
Refer to the approach of the Technical Governance Committee for addressing over-crediting and under-crediting of units under the BidCarbon Standard Scheme.
