Emissions offset project - Towards a voluntary green registration scheme (2006)

This project involved the strategic assessment of emissions offset schemes worldwide, in terms of both environmental value and operational integrity. The research undertaken for this study was then used to advise the NSW Government on a potential framework for the operation of a voluntary emissions offset scheme for New South Wales motorists. The work was undertaken in cooperation with Margaree Consultants (Canada).


Review of SCR technologies

This project involved the provision of policy advice on the validity of the environmental arguments supporting the introduction of SCR technologies for emission control on heavy vehicles. The work was undertaken in a highly sensitive environment where the NSW Government was seeking concessions from the Federal Government with respect to the imminent introduction of changes to national vehicle emission standards for heavy vehicles.
