'Jensen Carbon Project (Revoked)
ERF159590
Project Information:
Jensen Carbon Project is a soil carbon project located in the Central Highlands of Queensland, approximately 30km south-east of Clermont. It was registered in October 2020 and covers 428.12 ha.
Projects under the Measurement of Soil Carbon Sequestration in Agricultural Systems methodology involve storing carbon in agricultural land by changing management practices. Standard requirements include establishing a baseline carbon level through physical soil sampling and adopting one or more new eligible activities, such as altering the stocking density, duration, or intensity of grazing.
The Clermont area is primarily known for beef cattle grazing, broadacre cropping (such as sorghum and sunflower), and significant coal mining operations. The region features a subtropical climate with summer-dominant rainfall, averaging around 600mm to 660mm annually. Soils in this part of the Central Highlands are typically deep, black cracking clays (vertosols) and basaltic soils characteristic of historical brigalow scrub landscapes.
This project was developed by Agriprove Solutions Pty Ltd, a major Australian soil carbon project developer, to increase soil carbon specifically by changing grazing patterns. Notably, the project was officially revoked on July 23, 2026, under Section 30 of the CFI Rule, a mechanism which generally applies when a project registration is voluntarily surrendered by the proponent.
