- Greenhouse friendlyGreenhouse Friendly 'The Greenhouse Friendly™ initiative has been operating since 2001 to certify carbon neutralA voluntary mechanism where an activity, event, household, business or organisation is responsible for no net emissions of greenhouse gases and can therefore be declared carbon neutral in that specific area. Carbon neutrality can be achieved by reducing emissions as far as possible (e.g. energy efficiency, purchasing renewable energy) and then purchasing offsets for any residual emissions in order to achieve zero net emissions. products and services and approve abatementA reduction in the amount or intensity of greenhouse gas emissions as a result of actions taken by a company or individual. credits for sale on the voluntary market, including to Greenhouse Friendly™ certified product and service providers. Introduction of the Carbon Pollution Reduction SchemeAustralia's cap and trade scheme which will come in to effect in 2010. The CPRS will place a limit, or cap, on the amount of carbon pollution industry can emit and allow trading of carbon credits. It will concentrate on the biggest polluters, by placing obligations on around 1000 Australian companies in total. However it will effect all Australians through indirect price increases. (the Scheme) has implications for Greenhouse Friendly™. The Scheme will have broad sectoral coverage, which means there will be less scope to pursue offset activities with offsets limited to emissions sources uncovered by the Scheme. This means the Scheme will impact on the types of abatement that can be provided, because abatement in sectors covered by the Scheme will no longer be additional to “business as usual”. For these reasons Greenhouse Friendly™ will wind up on 1 July 2010. Greenhouse Friendly™ certification of carbon neutral products and services will continue to operate until 1 July 2010. Applications for new abatement projects have closed. Abatement may be generated by current Greenhouse Friendly™ abatement providers up to 1 July 2010, and may still be sold and purchased after that date. methodology applied by accredited assesor

Own Project | The project seeks to reinstate as far as possible the pre 1750 Ecological Vegetation Class (EVC) as determined by the Department of Sustainability and Environment, using local provenance seed. The project uses a mixture of establishment techniques, including tubestock planting and direct seeding. The carbon on the project site is secured through the use of a private forestry agreement. This project site is approximately 70 hectares in size. Carbon is calculated ex-ante, and will be sequestered over the lifetime of the project.

Price per tonne of CO2e [Q24] AU$11
Project Location(s) [Q27, Q28]Australia | VIC	Project Size (tonnes of CO2e) [Q29] Approximately 20,000 over the lifetime of the project.

[Q42]- The project offers significant co-benefits including the provision of biodiversity, and water quality services, reduced erosion (the site had several areas of active erosion prior to project implementation). The project also offers significant land systems benefits, reducing water infiltration in a high salinity recharge area.
