Ewing Carbon Project

Ewing Carbon Project is a soil carbon project located approximately 20km southeast of Cobram in northern Victoria. It was registered in January 2021 and covers 253.98 ha.

Soil carbon projects under the Measurement of Soil Carbon Sequestration in Agricultural Systems Methodology involve changing agricultural management practices to build and store soil organic carbon. Standard requirements include undertaking at least one new eligible management activity and conducting strict baseline and subsequent soil sampling to accurately measure the carbon sequestered over time.

The Cobram and wider Murray Valley area is well known for dairy farming, cattle and sheep grazing, as well as broadacre cropping and orchards. The region generally experiences a temperate climate with moderate rainfall, and the local soils are typically alluvial clays, red-brown earths, and sandy loams.

This project increases carbon in the soil in the agricultural system by re-establishing or rejuvenating a pasture by seeding and altering the stocking rate, duration or intensity of grazing. It is managed by Agriprove Solutions Pty Ltd, one of Australia's largest soil carbon project developers, and forms part of a larger portfolio of carbon abatement contracts (Contract CAC808228) held with the Clean Energy Regulator.
