Projects from the showcase
April Salumei Carbon Project
CSP: Tasman Environmental Markets
Location: Papua New Guinea
Abatement volume: 1
.8 million tCO2-e
The April Salumei project protects and sustainably manages over 600,000 hectares of globally significant virgin rainforest in the East Sepik Province of Papua New Guinea. The project area has previously been recognised as an exceptional biodiversity hotspot by the Climate Community and Biodiversity Standard (SCS, 2011). Before becoming a carbon project, the area was planned to be cleared for logging.

Location: Queensland
The Yimba Biodiversity Project stands as a recent addition to Carbon Neutral Pty Ltd's portfolio within the Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor.

CSP: Enviroguard Pty Limited
Location: New South Wales
Abatement volume: 230,922
ACCUs total units issued
