General Information

[Q28, Q31]Own Project | The Carbon Capture Program has been developed to create large scale carbon estates (plantations) to produce accredited carbon offsets. This is achieved by planting Mallee Eucalypt trees, a native species perfectly adapted to the growing conditions of Australia. The project offers a range of products designed to suit the individual carbon offset needs of the market. Options include, but are not limited to;
A 'complete package' including land identification, carbon credit generation and ongoing monitoring and carbon inventory auditing. This option is designed for businesses seeking to own their own carbon estate asset, delivering a future stream of carbon credits whilst maintaining focus on their core business.
HedgingHedging is a strategy designed to minimize exposure to such business risks as changing prices for commodities (e.g. carbon offsets). options - allows clients to gain access to a stream of carbon credits into the future at a predetermined price. Designed for clients wishing to protect themselves against future price increases.

Price per tonne of CO2e [Q30] $20-$25

Project Type(s) [Q32] - Plantation of monocultureThe practice of producing or growing one single crop over a wide area. of native species for harvesting - AfforestationThe direct human-induced conversion of land that has not been forested for a period of at least 50 years to forested land through planting, seeding and/or the human-induced promotion of natural seed. / reforestationThe reestablishment of forest on land that was previously forested but converted to another use before 31.12.1989. with Australian native vegetation (as opposed to locally appropriate)

- Greenhouse FriendlyThe Greenhouse Friendly™The Greenhouse Friendly™ initiative operated between 2001 and 30 June 2010. It certified carbon neutral products and services and approved abatement credits for sale on the voluntary market. Applications for new abatement projects have closed. These were not considered eligible offsets under NCOS and could not be retired for the purpose of becoming carbon neutral under the NCOS from 1 July 2010. This situation may change in future as a result of reviews of the NCOS by DCCEE. initiative operated between 2001 and 30 June 2010. It certified carbon neutralA voluntary mechanism where an activity, event, household, business or organisation is responsible for no net emissions of greenhouse gases and can therefore be declared carbon neutral in that specific area. Carbon neutrality can be achieved by reducing emissions as far as possible (e.g. energy efficiency, purchasing renewable energy) and then purchasing offsets for any residual emissions in order to achieve zero net emissions. products and services and approved abatementA reduction in the amount or intensity of greenhouse gas emissions as a result of actions taken by a company or individual. credits for sale on the voluntary market. Applications for new abatement projects have closed. These were not considered eligible offsets under NCOSThe Commonwealth Government’s National Carbon Offset Standard (NCOS) came into effect on 1 July 2010 coinciding with the cessation of the Government’s Greenhouse Friendly™ program. It is intended to ensure that consumers have confidence in the voluntary carbon offset market and the integrity of the carbon offset and carbon neutral products they purchase. It provides guidance to businesses who wish to make their organisation carbon neutral or develop carbon neutral products in a way that achieves emissions reductions, through the purchase and cancellation of eligible carbon offsets.
