Teams managing residual carbon emissions:
As compliance demand grows, organisations face increasing pressure to secure high-integrity ACCUs while managing price volatility, tightening supply and evolving regulatory requirements.
Facilities exceeding their Safeguard Mechanism baseline can face penalties of up to $275 per tonne of excess emissions.
But here's the challenge: Waiting until compliance deadlines can increase procurement costs and make it harder to secure the right ACCUs.
South Pole helps organisations build procurement strategies that reduce risk and secure supply with confidence.
Understand your procurement needs and market exposure.
Access a portfolio of high-integrity Australian Carbon Credit Units.
Secure long-term supply through forward contracts and offtake agreements.
Every organisation has different compliance obligations, procurement timelines and risk exposure. We assess your requirements and recommend a procurement strategy that balances price, supply security and long-term flexibility.
What you get:
Not all ACCUs are equal. We source credits from a trusted network of Australian projects and apply rigorous due diligence to assess additionality, permanence and co-benefits before procurement.
What you get:
Rather than relying on volatile spot markets, we help secure ACCUs through forward contracts, multi-year offtake agreements and direct project investment where appropriate.
What you get:
CCUs demand grew by 38% annually between 2021 and 2024, while supply grew by just 3%, creating a tightening market.
Safeguard Mechanism baselines reduce by 4.9% each year through to 2035, increasing long-term demand for ACCUs.
ACCUs prices have experienced year-on-year fluctuations of up to ±30%, making last-minute procurement increasingly costly.
