Elliot Carbon (Revoked)

Elliot Carbon (Revoked) was a soil carbon grazing project located at Seaview, approximately 15km south of Warragul in the West Gippsland region of Victoria. It was registered in July 2017 and covers 92.50ha.

Sequestering carbon in soils in grazing systems involves implementing new or materially different management practices to increase soil organic carbon. Standard requirements include taking baseline soil samples, changing agricultural practices, such as implementing rotational grazing, altering stocking densities, or changing pasture species, and conducting subsequent measurements to verify the volume of carbon sequestered.

The Seaview and Warragul area is known for its highly productive agricultural land, heavily utilized for dairy farming, beef cattle grazing, and forestry operations. The region is considered a high rainfall zone, and the soils are typically fertile red volcanic soils (basalt) and clay loams.

This project was set up to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by sequestering carbon in a soil grazing system. It was managed by Corporate Carbon Solutions Pty Ltd, but was officially revoked under section 33 of the CFI Rule on December 16, 2024.
