Carbon credits

SoilRegen

Soil Organic Carbon is the primary driver of plant-available micro and macro-nutrients. Our treatments help sequester carbon in the soil, contributing to the fight against climate change while fostering vibrant and productive farmland. The Australian Carbon Credit Units Scheme (ACCUS) provides a fantastic opportunity to profit from improving soil nutrition and soil carbon.

How it works

Sequestering carbon

Carbon plays a crucial roles in soil, including energy supply and soil aggregation, by holding clay minerals apart. When plants absorb carbon dioxide, they act as a pump that pushes carbon into the soil. The bigger the pump, the better the result. More carbon in the soil leads to the formation of 'peds' which are small aggregates of soil that improve soil aeration and drainage. We build this larger pump by incorporating minerals and nutrients in order to engineer a healthy soil that will support healthy pastures and crops. The 'workers' that pump carbon into the soil are plants' photosynthesis and the roots and microbes that live in the soil. The soil-carbon pump grows as healthier plants produce root-liquid exudates as well as live and dead carbon (necromass). These are protected in our enhanced soil mineral structures. Farmers are now recognising that massive amounts of soil organic matter (SOM), which is composed of 57% carbon, have been lost to the atmosphere, reducing soil fertility and weakening soil structure and stability. This soil-carbon becomes carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Our carbon sequestration projects aim to undo that damage, improving soils and the environment.
Investing in soil

Soil health is an investment and the Australian Carbon Credit Units Scheme (ACCUS) is a fantastic opportunity to profit from improving the health of your soil. This is in addition to the profitability gained from additional yield and stocking rates. As a result, carbon sequestration into soils has financial, agricultural and environmental benefits.

Why sequester carbon?

Profits from carbon credits
Australian soils have the capacity to store vast amounts of carbon, and Aussie farmers can earn Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) for every tonne of carbon sequestered. This provides a huge financial incentive to profit from the treatment of agricultural soils,
Improving yield and soil health
Carbon makes up 57% of soil organic matter (SOM) and SOM is what matters! All the elements required to grow pasture are found in SOM, so increasing SOM is fundamental to pasture productivity. More carbon in the soil helps to form small aggregates that improve soil aeration, drainage and water-holding capacity. Healthier soils enable better yields, increased stocking rates and greater financial returns for farmers.
Repairing the environment
The release of carbon into the atmosphere is a significant catalyst for climate change. However, Australian soils have the potential to sequester substantial amounts of carbon, putting it to better use in agricultural soils.
