Canopy - Carbon Market Institute

Canopy is now one of the largest producers of carbon credits in Australia under the environmental planting methodology, and is expanding into emerging environmental credit markets like water quality and biodiversity.

We believe a market-based approach can drive a level of investment in ecosystem restoration well beyond what’s been possible through traditional government and philanthropy funding models.

Canopy supports business, government and private investors to take action on the dual crises of climate change and biodiversity loss by offering high impact nature-based solutions.

We focus on restoring biodiversity, improving water quality and sequestering carbon through science-led projects that rebuild nature at a landscape scale.

These scaled up nature-positive solutions simultaneously help vulnerable species, provide a new income stream for landholders and Traditional Owners, employ local contractors, and create long-term protection for restored sites.

Canopy is a company of Greening Australia. The two organisations work closely together to develop projects that produce high integrity environmental credits and create meaningful change for communities, economies and nature.

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.
