South East Arnhem Land Fire Abatement Stage 2 (SEALFA2)
CSP: ALFA (NT) Limited
Location: Northern Territory
Abatement volume: 100,708
ACCUs total units issued
Fire is and has always been the most important tool Aboriginal people in Arnhem Land have used for managing country. Prior to European settlement, the people of Arnhem Land would burn as they traversed their country.
Bonnie Doone Soil Carbon Project
CSP: Carbon Link
Location: Queensland
North Burnett graziers Carly and Grant Burnham commenced a soil carbon project in 2016 in partnership with CarbonLink, covering over 5,275 hectares of their property.
Despite seasonal challenges of dry weather and fluctuating cattle prices, extensive testing and auditing of Bonnie Doone demonstrated the Burnhams’ adoption of new land management practices resulted in the equivalent of 126,222 tonnes of greenhouse gas emission being sequestered into their soils over the five-year reporting period.
In late 2023, the couple were awarded 94,666 Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) by the national Clean Energy Regulator – the largest allocation for an individual soil carbon farming project in Australia to date.
