Regen Aqua Pty Ltd

RegenAqua Pty Ltd (RegenAqua) is a world leading nature-based technology business removing harmful nutrients from wastewater.

The technology uses native macroalgae to remove nitrogen and phosphorous from wastewater, sequestering carbon in the process and naturally disinfecting the wastewater stream.

RegenAqua is chemical free, carbon neutral and along with generating clean water, it also produces high quality macroalgae (biomass).

Circularity is at the core of our market offering and whilst multiple pathways to market exist for the macroalgal biomass, the two which show most promise at a commercial scale are Ag-based products such as Biostimulants ( http://www.plantjuice.com.au ) and Biofuels such as biocrude, biomethane and bioethanol – our ‘bio-battery concept’.

RegenAqua is currently partnering with the Burdekin Shire Council to pilot the technology using the Wastewater Method.

Rainforest Rescue

Based in Far North Queensland, Rainforest Rescue is a not-for-profit environmental organisation undertaking on-ground conservation in the Daintree. Since 1999, the organisation has protected and restored rainforest by purchasing high-conservation-value properties, safeguarding biodiversity, and carrying out restoration activities including tree planting, maintenance, and weed removal.

Rainforest Rescue's Cassowary Credit project is located within the Daintree Oxbow, a floodplain landscape linking two world heritage areas, and connecting the Daintree River and Australia's most biodiverse mangrove system. It is currently one of the most significant restoration project in Australia's Wet Tropics. Much of the Oxbow was cleared for sugarcane farming over the past seventy years and remains severely degraded and fragmented. Restoring the Oxbow reconnects the wildlife corridor between the Daintree National Park and the river system, providing habitat for a range of threatened species such as the Southern Cassowary and Spectacled Flying Fox as well as plenty of other threatened birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians.

The restoration work also rebuilds soil health, improves water quality flowing into the Great Barrier Reef catchment, increases carbon storage and biodiversity, and supports local jobs in seed collection, nursery production and on ground revegetation work.

    Questions

    Asked by Proponents and Project Developers

    Yes. A single parcel can run two methodologies under two standards and issue two credit types. Each lineage is tracked separately, so the provenance of each credit stays intact.

    Start by reviewing the approved Methodologies and identifying the one that suits your land. Register yourself as a proponent on the registry. Once you are approved as a proponent, you can submit your project for approval by the Eco-Markets Secretariat. Once your project is approved, you are free to begin work on the ground, improve environmental outcomes and earn Credits. You can contact us at any point in that process at info@eco-markets.org.au.

    The mark is applied only to Standards, Methodologies, Projects and Credits that meet a minimum bar for integrity, transparency and rigour. It is the culmination of Eco-Markets’ governance, expertise and consultation. Where the mark appears, buyers can be confident the outcome has been measured, quantified, verified and already achieved. It is a consistent signal of integrity, so buyers can purchase repeatedly without taking on integrity or greenwashing risk.

    If your Reef Credit project has already been validated and registered, it continues to operate under the Methodology version that applied when the project was registered. A revision to an approved Methodology does not automatically require existing projects to transition to the new version during their current crediting period.

    Where a proponent chooses to transition, all eligibility requirements under the relevant Method and Standard must be met, an application for validation by the Secretariat is required, and the registry must be updated accordingly.

    Where an existing project renews its crediting period, it must adopt the most recent version of the applicable Methodology, reassess its baseline scenario and demonstrate compliance with the latest requirements.

    New projects must use the most recently approved version. Proponents may elect to use the previous version if they submit their project for validation within 90 days of the updated Methodology being approved. Refer to sections 4.9 and 3.2.2 of the Reef Credit Standard.
