Previously secret data has been released by the Clean Energy Regulator after questions were raised about the integrity of methods used to generate carbon credits.

The Carbon Estimation Area (CEA) data was issued on June 2, as recommended by a recent review of Australia’s carbon credit scheme and after a law change allowed the release.
