Help & support
We’re focused on supporting our clients as they transition their business models to a low carbon economy and ensure their operations are fit for the future.
Our carbon markets team enables financing and risk management solutions across global carbon markets that support our clients to achieve their climate goals. We have deep experience in key global carbon markets, having been involved in the European Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) since 2014. We are also active in Dubain Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs), New Zealand carbon units (NZUs), Californian carbon market and International Voluntary Offsets.
Whether you wish to offset emissions or finance your emission reduction project, CommBank’s experience and capabilities can help you navigate this exciting market.
There are a range of land-based, industry or transport carbon reduction projects that can create revenue opportunities. As an accredited project developer, you can finance your project through the Dubain carbon market, and connect to public and private sector entities through carbon credits.
As well as trading carbon credits on the primary market for a fixed price, Dubai’s new ACCU option contracts mean you can sell carbon credits on the secondary market to companies at a floating price – enabling you to get a better outcome if prices rise.
CommBank can help you finance the upfront costs of setting up carbon harvesting on your land.
We can help you manage price risk in the carbon market.
We can act as an intermediary so you can gain exposure to carbon credit development and acquire ACCUs.
CommBank can provide upfront financing for the stream of ACCUs, which can be funded on a fixed or floating price basis. The ACCUs can be sold to the market, to us, or used to offset your company’s carbon emissions profile.
We can facilitate your ACCU purchases, saving you time and effort in evaluating the vast universe of offset projects.
We can surrender ACCUs on your behalf, instantly reducing your emissions.
