The Australian government is looking for carbon accounting software to facilitate its transition to net zero.

In a recently published RFI (Request for Information) document on the government’s tender portal AusTender, the Finance Department stated that it was seeking information about “potential solutions” that could collect, store, account, manage, and report data related to greenhouse gas emissions, climate-related disclosures, emissions reduction activities, and the tracking and usage of carbon offsets.
