Prosper Carbon Project

Prosper Carbon Project is a soil carbon sequestration project located approximately 17km west of Stawell in the Grampians region of Victoria. It was registered in December 2017 and covers an area of 115.65ha.

Soil carbon projects under the Estimation of Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration using Measurement and Models methodology involve implementing new or materially different land management activities to build soil carbon. Standard requirements for this methodology include establishing a baseline carbon level through rigorous physical soil sampling and laboratory analysis, then continuing to sample and model soil organic carbon over time to verify sequestration yields.

The Stawell district is broadly known for mixed agricultural operations, particularly sheep grazing and cropping. The area experiences a temperate climate with moderate annual rainfall averaging around 520mm. The soils in this region are typically duplex, characterised by sandy or loamy topsoils over heavier clay subsoils.

This project was set up to increase carbon in the agricultural soil system by applying synthetic or non-synthetic fertilisers to address a material nutrient deficiency, and by re-establishing or rejuvenating the pasture through seeding or pasture cropping. In late 2025, the project underwent administrative updates, varying its methodology to the 2021 Measurement and Models determination and officially transferring the proponent name from Corporate Carbon Solutions Pty Ltd to Agriprove Solutions Pty Ltd.
