A December 2022 draft review report from the Emissions Reduction Assurance Committee (ERAC) examines the Avoided Deforestation methodology under the Carbon Farming Initiative's Emissions Reduction Fund. ERAC, an independent expert committee, assesses whether the methodology meets offsets integrity standards under the Carbon Credits Act. The review was conducted as part of ERAC's periodic review function to determine ongoing compliance with integrity standards. The document notes that a separate Review Panel into Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) was simultaneously examining avoided deforestation alongside other methods. The report provides technical abbreviations and context for assessing carbon credits generated through avoided deforestation projects, which measure greenhouse gas reductions by preventing forest clearing and track carbon sequestration using tools like the Full Carbon Accounting Model.
