Groom Carbon Project (Revoked)

Groom Carbon Project is an agricultural soil carbon project located in the Barwite area, approximately 15 kilometers northeast of Mansfield in Victoria. It was registered in September 2020 and covers an area of 165.39 hectares.

The project operates under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative, Measurement of Soil Carbon Sequestration in Agricultural Systems) Methodology Determination 2018. This methodology allows proponents to earn carbon credits by altering agricultural management practices to store new carbon in soils, requiring direct measurement and soil sampling to verify the sequestration. For this specific project, the primary activity involves increasing soil carbon by altering the stocking rate, duration, or intensity of grazing.

The Barwite and Mansfield region is predominantly a Farming Zone known for domestic livestock grazing, including cattle and sheep, as well as cropping. The environmental conditions are highly conducive to agricultural productivity, experiencing a moderate to high annual rainfall averaging around 990 mm to 1038 mm. The region features undulating terrain with highly productive soil types that are often improved with lime and fertiliser, alongside native areas of clay and mudstone rock.

Interestingly, the project underwent a change in participant name from Agriprove Pty Ltd to AGRIPROVE SOLUTIONS PTY LTD in March 2021. Despite a nominated 25-year permanence period, the project was officially revoked under section 30 of the CFI Rule on July 23, 2026.
