Pearce Carbon Project

Pearce Carbon Project is a soil carbon sequestration project located near the rural locality of Dallarnil, approximately 25 kilometers south of Childers in Queensland’s North Burnett region. Registered in October 2020, the project covers a project area of 130.85 hectares.

The project operates under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative, Measurement of Soil Carbon Sequestration in Agricultural Systems) Methodology Determination 2018. This methodology credits the increases in soil organic carbon (SOC) achieved through improved land management. The specific activity for this project involves altering the stocking rate, duration, or intensity of grazing, which is designed to stimulate plant growth and root mass, thereby increasing carbon storage in the soil profile.

The North Burnett region is characterized by a subtropical climate with warm, wet summers and mild winters. Rainfall in the Dallarnil area typically averages between 700mm and 900mm annually, supporting robust pasture growth. The local soils are variable but generally consist of fertile volcanic red soils (Ferrosols) or texture-contrast soils (Chromosols) typical of the grazing lands southwest of Bundaberg.

Agriprove Solutions Pty Ltd is the project proponent. The project underwent a participant name variation in March 2021, shifting from "Agriprove Pty Ltd" to "AGRIPROVE SOLUTIONS PTY LTD," reflecting the corporate structuring of Australia's largest soil carbon developer.
