Demystifying carbon projects: soil carbon (CNGN)

The ‘Carbon Neutral Grazier Network’ provides the latest tips and information on positioning your business to take advantage of the rapidly evolving world of environmental markets and certification schemes.

This BeefConnect webinar recording delivers the second round of the ‘demystifying carbon projects’ series.

As at April 2023, there are approximately 289 soil carbon projects registered under Australia’s Emissions reduction scheme; 73% of which were registered in 2022 following the previous federal governments $54.4 million commitment to support farmers and land managers to access low-cost soil sampling and certified testing in exchange for sharing their data under the Pilot Soil Monitoring and Incentives Program. Of the 45 projects that were registered early enough to have been issued Australian Carbon Credit Units, only one Victorian project has been awarded credits.

In this recording, Associate Professor Matthew Harrison (University of Tasmania), 4th Generation mixed farmer, Steven Hobbs (producer from Kaniva, Victoria) and Adjunct Associate Professor Beverley Henry (Queensland University of Technology) deliver a robust discussion around soil carbon and soil carbon projects in southern and northern Australia.
