Morrison Carbon Project 4 (Revoked)

Morrison Carbon Project 4 (Revoked) was a soil carbon sequestration project located approximately 5km north-west of Goomalling in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia. Registered in April 2022, the project covered an area of nearly 155 hectares. The surrounding region is heavily utilized for mixed farming operations, typically combining broadacre cropping of wheat, barley, and lupins with sheep grazing.

The project operated under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative, Estimation of Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration using Measurement and Models) Methodology Determination 2021. This methodology rewards landholders for increasing soil organic carbon levels through regenerative management practices. Specifically, this project aimed to sequester carbon by re-establishing or rejuvenating pastures via seeding or pasture cropping, alongside altering grazing intensity and duration to improve soil vegetation cover.

Environmentally, the Goomalling area experiences a Mediterranean climate characterized by hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. The landscape features soils ranging from sandy loams to heavier clay loams, often associated with the underlying granitic geology of the Western Australian Wheatbelt.

The project was voluntarily revoked in September 2025 under Section 30 of the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Rule 2015. While the specific reasons for revocation are not detailed in the public register, Section 30 typically governs voluntary revocations requested by the project proponent. The project was managed by Agriprove Solutions Pty Ltd, a prominent soil carbon developer. It appears to have been part of a larger aggregation of "Morrison" projects in the area, some of which, such as the broader Morrison Carbon Project managed by the same landholder, have successfully been issued Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) for achieving measurable increases in soil carbon.
