Prosper Carbon Project

Prosper Carbon Project is a soil carbon project located in the West Wimmera local government area of western Victoria. It was officially registered on December 18, 2017, and covers a project area of 115.65 hectares.

Soil carbon projects operating under the Estimation of Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration using Measurement and Models methodology involve securely storing carbon in agricultural soils. This is achieved by adopting one or more new eligible management activities to build up soil carbon stocks compared to a historical baseline period. Standard requirements dictate that the sequestered carbon must be rigorously verified through direct soil sampling or a combination of direct sampling and modelled estimates over the project's crediting period.

The West Wimmera region is highly regarded for its robust agricultural production, particularly broadacre grain growing and sheep grazing. The area generally experiences a temperate to semi-arid climate with moderate, winter-dominant rainfall, and the landscape features diverse soil types, typically transitioning from lighter sandy terrain on dune ridges to heavier clay soils in the swales.

This specific project aims to increase soil carbon within the agricultural system by applying synthetic or non-synthetic fertilisers to address material soil deficiencies, and by re-establishing or rejuvenating pasture through active seeding and pasture cropping. Interestingly, in late 2025, the project officially varied its methodology from the older 2014 determination to the updated 2021 Measurement and Models determination. Around the same time, the project underwent a participant name change from Corporate Carbon Solutions Pty Ltd to Agriprove Solutions Pty Ltd, with Agriprove Pty Ltd also stepping in as the project agent. Agriprove is a major developer in the Australian market, specializing heavily in data-driven soil carbon projects.
