Projects from the showcase
Marion Downs Carbon Abatement
CSP: Australian Wildlife Conservancy

Recognised as a showcase for conservation in northern Australia. Marion Downs protects almost 6,000 square kilometres of the iconic Kimberley region.
Efficient Lighting Project in Rural India
Location: India
Abatement volume: 53,799
tCO2e Annual Emission Reductions
The project is expected to generate a total of 537,990 tCO2e emission reductions over the crediting period of 10 years starting from 2022.
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.
