CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme

Read our new science report which investigates the estimated emissions covered by the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme and the potential emissions reductions which could be achieved.

This study provides the first independent quantification of the potential carbon emissions savings possible under the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC).

It shows that up to 11.6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year could be avoided by 2020 through the CRC scheme. This reduction in emissions could be achieved at no long-term extra cost, and could even be cost beneficial to participants, due to lower energy bills.
