Bilney Carbon Project

The Bilney Carbon Project is a soil carbon sequestration initiative located approximately 5 kilometers east of the rural town of Miriam Vale in the Gladstone Region of Queensland. Registered on December 23, 2025, the project covers a relatively focused area of 69.77 hectares, suggesting it may be a pilot site or a specific intensive grazing zone within a larger agricultural property.

The project operates under the 2021 Soil Carbon methodology, which credits landholders for measurable increases in soil organic carbon stocks. To achieve this, the project proponent, Agriprove Solutions Co No.2 Pty Ltd, has outlined a strategy involving the application of synthetic or non-synthetic fertilizers to correct nutrient deficiencies, the re-establishment of pastures through seeding or pasture cropping, and the strategic alteration of grazing stocking rates. These activities are designed to boost plant biomass and root growth, thereby drawing more carbon from the atmosphere into the soil profile.

Situated in a subtropical coastal environment, the Miriam Vale region typically enjoys high annual rainfall measuring approximately 1,170mm. The area is predominantly utilized for beef cattle grazing and forestry. The local terrain often features texture-contrast soils such as Chromosols or Dermosols, which can respond well to pasture renovation and nutrient management if rainfall is consistent. The project is facilitated by Agriprove, a major Australian carbon service provider known for utilizing digital soil measurement technology.
