Kangaroo Carbon Project (Revoked)

Kangaroo Carbon Project (Revoked) is a soil carbon project located in the Bass Coast region of Victoria, approximately 110km south-east of Melbourne. It was registered in October 2017 and covers 325.37ha.

Sequestering Carbon in Soils in Grazing Systems projects involve storing carbon in agricultural soils by altering land management practices. Standard requirements typically involve implementing new, eligible activities such as changing stocking densities, modifying grazing duration, or applying targeted soil amendments to build soil organic carbon over time.

The Bass Coast and wider South Gippsland area is well known for extensive agricultural operations, particularly dairy and beef cattle grazing. The region experiences a temperate climate and is classified as a high rainfall zone, typically receiving between 900mm to over 1000mm annually. The local soils are predominantly Dermosols and Sodosols, which can support robust pasture growth when managed to prevent compaction and nutrient depletion.

This project was established by Corporate Carbon Solutions Pty Ltd to increase soil organic matter by optimising plant growth. Project activities focused on integrated pasture cropping, combining mixed species selection, nitrogen fixation, added soil amendments, and fodder mulching. The project was officially revoked on 8 August 2024 under section 30 of the Carbon Farming Initiative (CFI) Rule.
