Canegrass Carbon Farming Project 2

Canegrass Carbon Farming Project 2 is a Native Forest from Managed Regrowth (NFMR) project located at "Canegrass" station in the Murweh Shire of southwest Queensland. Situated approximately 100km west-northwest of Charleville and east of Quilpie, the project sits within the Mulga Lands bioregion, an area traditionally dominated by grazing properties. The project was registered on December 16, 2014, and covers a substantial area of 7,951 hectares.

The project operates under the Native Forest from Managed Regrowth methodology, which is designed for land that was historically cleared for pastoral use. Unlike environmental plantings where new trees are physically planted, this method relies on the "cessation of mechanical or chemical destruction" of regrowth. By stopping the cycle of clearing, the project allows native vegetation, likely Mulga (Acacia aneura) and associated species, to regenerate from in-situ seed sources, rootstock, and lignotubers.

Environmentally, the region is characterized by a semi-arid climate with irregular rainfall and red earth soils typical of the Mulga Lands. These soils are often low in nutrients but support resilient acacia forests when grazing and clearing pressures are managed. The project proponent, Devine Agribusiness Carbon Pty Ltd, holds a Carbon Abatement Contract with the Australian Government to deliver carbon credits from this regeneration, distinguishing it as an active participant in the early stages of the Emissions Reduction Fund. It is important to note this project is distinct from the similarly named "Canegrass Station" carbon project in South Australia (now revoked) and the "Canegrass" mineral project in Western Australia.
