Fuller Carbon Project

Fuller Carbon Project is a soil carbon project located roughly 17km northeast of Colac in the Colac Otway Shire, Victoria. It was registered in November 2020 and covers 297.44 hectares.

Soil carbon projects involve modifying agricultural practices to increase the amount of carbon stored in the soil, with changes tracked over time. The Measurement of Soil Carbon Sequestration in Agricultural Systems Methodology Determination 2018 requires proponents to establish a baseline by measuring soil carbon to a depth of at least 30 cm, implement new eligible management activities, and measure future carbon stocks through rigorous, randomised soil sampling.

The Colac Otway Shire region is highly valued for its productive agricultural land, supporting livestock grazing, dairy farming, and plantation forestry. The area typically experiences moderate to high rainfall, which is generally reliable for agriculture, and features fertile basalt and clay soils typical of the surrounding volcanic plains.

This project aims to increase carbon in the soil within its agricultural system by altering the stocking rate, duration, or intensity of livestock grazing. It is developed by Agriprove, a major Australian soil carbon project developer assisting landholders in generating carbon credits through regenerative farming practices.
