Australia's ACCU scheme pays Queensland landholders to restore native vegetation on cleared land. Every tonne of carbon absorbed generates an Australian Carbon Credit Unit — income earned for doing what's right for the land.
An ACCU (Australian Carbon Credit Unit) is a certificate that represents one tonne of carbon dioxide stored in or removed from the atmosphere. When you allow native vegetation to regrow on previously cleared land, that vegetation absorbs CO₂ as it grows.
The Australian government's Clean Energy Regulator issues one ACCU for every tonne of CO₂ stored. You can sell these credits to Australian companies who are required to offset their emissions.
At current prices, a well-vegetated property can generate meaningful annual income for up to 25 years — from doing nothing more than letting the bush grow back.
We assess your land. Most cleared or degraded FNQ land with a history of native vegetation qualifies. Location, area, and clearing history all matter.
We assist with registration under a Clean Energy Regulator (CER) approved method. The project runs for 25 years from registration.
We plant, manage, and provide full documentation and monitoring to CER standards — the reporting requirement that proves credits are being earned.
ACCUs are issued to you at audit. You sell through the government spot price or directly to corporate buyers. We help you understand your options.
"The land can earn from what it grows.
For the first time, restoration and income are the same thing."
FNQ landholders with cleared grazing or agricultural land are sitting on a revenue opportunity that most haven't been told about. The ACCU scheme turns ecological restoration into a 25-year income stream.
You don't need to stop farming. You set aside a degraded corner, a waterway buffer, or land that's already unproductive — and let it regenerate. We handle the planting, the management, and the paperwork. You receive the credits.
The larger the area and the better the regrowth, the more credits generated. A 100 hectare project could generate thousands of ACCUs annually at $15–$35 per tonne CO₂ equivalent.
Grazing and agricultural properties with cleared land — especially those with areas that are no longer productive, prone to erosion, or adjacent to waterways. ACCU income can exceed the productive value of marginal land.
Investors acquiring FNQ land for ecological restoration and ACCU income generation. We provide on-ground delivery for investment-grade revegetation projects requiring professional management and CER-compliant documentation.
Tell us about your property — location, approximate area available, current vegetation state, and any clearing history you can provide. We'll assess eligibility and outline the income potential.
