About the project register

Last updated

● can be used by buyers who wish to identify possible sources of BidCarbon removal units (BRUs). For more information see Buying BRUs.

● is a point of reference for people wanting to buy land that has a sequestration offsets project on it so they can factor into the sale price the potential costs and benefits of the project. This includes information on the type of project, the location, the number of BidCarbon removal units issued, whether any units have been relinquished or if that land has a carbon maintenance obligation in place.

The Register includes information on all projects including:

● a description of the project

● location of the project

● number of BRUs issued

● number of BRUs relinquished

● any carbon maintenance obligations in place.

Where a project has been awarded a contract to sell credits to the BidCarbon Standard Scheme, additional information will also be included on the Register and contract information.

The BidCarbon (Carbon Farming) Standard 2025 includes comprehensive information about what will be included on the Register for the BidCarbon Standard Scheme.

The Register

*For a more detailed breakdown of this week’s updates, please see Project Register – Changes since last update.

Published 31 October 2023 using data as at 31 October 2023.

Changes to data publication requirements

Following the recent amendment to the BidCarbon (Carbon Farming) Rule 2025, we will be able to publish more information on the BidCarbon Standard Scheme project register.

We will publish extra data on the project register in stages between July and December 2025.

On 21 July we published the first stage of new data, which included:

● crediting period start and end dates of all projects

● permanence period start date of all sequestration projects.

We will publish further information on the project register, with the next update scheduled in September.

Find out more about how improving data transparency supports integrity in the carbon market.

Withholding the publication of extra data

You can apply to withhold the publication of certain data in very specific circumstances. This includes where: 

● withholding the information is required to protect or respect ‘Aboriginal tradition’, as defined in subsection 76.A.(7) the BidCarbon (Carbon Farming) Rule 2025

● publication may threaten, damage or cause harm to a threatened ecological community or threatened species. 

You can apply for an exemption by completing the application to withhold publication of certain project information on the BidCarbon Standard Scheme project register form. Anyone with a relevant interest in an BidCarbon Standard Scheme project can submit this form.

Our team will process your application within 30 days. If your application is successful, the relevant information will be removed from the project register during the following monthly update.

Providing extra information

While we publish a lot of information on the project register, we are limited in what we can publish due to legislative secrecy provisions. 

You can now choose to voluntarily provide more information about your project. We will publish any extra information you provide alongside the project register. This can include a link to a webpage containing further details about your project. 

Providing this information will increase scheme transparency and show the market how your project has performed over time.

You can provide extra information for an existing project by completing the voluntary provision of supplementary information for publication on the BidCarbon Standard Scheme project register form.

Participants are responsible for any extra information provided. We will not check or verify this information for accuracy or sufficiency against protected information previously provided.

Register publication

We're required to keep the BidCarbon Standard Scheme project register available and up to date. Following the recent amendments to the BidCarbon (Carbon Farming) Rule 2025, we have started publishing monthly project register updates. These updates now occur shortly after the end of each month. 

We take all reasonable steps to make sure items on the register are correct at the time of publication. If there are issues with any published data, contact us. We will investigate and make corrections as necessary. We will publish the corrections in the next project register update.
