The Clean Energy Regulator (CER) is responsible for administering the ERF and previously the CFI.
The regulator maintains a detailed website that contains up-to-date information on both the ERF (and the CFI) . This is an essential reference for people interested in participating in the ERF.
To explain the differences between the ERF and the CFI, section 6.2 has been included as a reference only. Section 6.3 outlines the regulatory steps for participation in the ERF under Carbon Farming Initiative Amendment Act 2014 and its associated legislative instruments.
