At the core of the policy is the $2.5 billion emissions reduction fund (ERF) which the Government says will pay industry for activities that reduce carbon emissions. Environment Minister Greg Hunt says the ERF has been designed to buy the lowest-cost carbon abatement schemes to reduce emissions through reverse auctions. He says it will encourage "practical ways of reducing emissions where every dollar is spent on actually purchasing real means of decreasing Australia's overall emissions".
