The Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) creates a financial incentive for Australian businesses to adopt smarter practices to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.

Participants can earn carbon credits by undertaking a project using an approved ERF method, which sets out the rules for the activity. These methods ensure that emissions reductions are genuine - that they are both real and additional to business as usual operations.

ERF environmental data layers are provided to assist proponents’ participation in the ERF. This page provides access to data layers that can be used under a number of agricultural and vegetation methods to assist proponents’ implementation of these land sector methods.

ERF Environmental Data - Preview dataset (WMS)
You can view the following data on National Map or your GIS. Reforestation by Environmental or Mallee Plantings – the five spatial regions; CFI Mapping Tool - Long term average annual rainfall; and Estimating soil carbon sequestration using default values.

Long term average rainfall map layer - CFI rainfall map
This links to data showing the long-term average annual rainfall (mm) across continental Australia, calculated for the period 1921-2010.

Estimating soil carbon sequestration using default values
This links to data showing default soil carbon sequestration rates for projects using the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative—Estimating Sequestration of Carbon in Soil Using Default Values) Methodology Determination 2015.

Reforestation by Environmental or Mallee Plantings
This links to data defining five spatial regions applicable to Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) (Reforestation by Environmental or Mallee Plantings (FullCAM)) Methodology Determination 2014.

Site potential (M) and Forest Productivity Index (FPIavg) versions 2.0
This links to version 2.0 of the spatial layers for site potential (M) and Long-Term Average Forest Productivity Index (FPIavg).

Site potential (M), ratio and Forest Productivity Index (FPIavg) versions 1.0
This links to version 1.0 of the spatial layers for site potential (M), site potential ratio and Long-Term Average Forest Productivity Index (FPIavg).

Specified regions for subregulation 3.37(4A)
