Beddall Carbon Project 12

Beddall Carbon Project 12 is a soil carbon sequestration project located in the Banana Shire of Central Queensland, approximately 35 kilometres southwest of the township of Moura. Registered in September 2025, the project covers 250.22 hectares of agricultural land. The project appears to be part of a larger aggregation of carbon estimation areas on the same property or portfolio, indicated by the numerical sequencing in the project name (e.g., alongside Beddall Carbon Project 1 and 5).

The project operates under the 2021 Soil Carbon methodology (Estimation of Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration using Measurement and Models). This method requires landholders to implement new management activities to increase soil organic carbon stocks. For Beddall Carbon Project 12, the specific activities involve altering the stocking rate, duration, or intensity of grazing to promote vegetation cover and incorporating legume species into pasture systems. This approach is designed to improve soil health and resilience while sequestering carbon, which generates Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs).

The region surrounding Moura is situated in the Brigalow Belt, an area heavily utilised for beef cattle grazing and broadacre cropping. The environment is characterised by a sub-tropical, semi-arid climate with summer-dominant rainfall, averaging around 600-700mm annually. The soils in this district are typically fertile cracking clays (Vertosols) or texture-contrast soils, which have high potential for carbon sequestration when managed with deep-rooted legumes and rotational grazing strategies to maintain ground cover.

The project proponent, Agriprove Solutions Co No.2 Pty Ltd, is a subsidiary of Agriprove, a prominent developer in the Australian soil carbon sector. Agriprove typically employs a "digital twin" model, utilising satellite imagery and data analytics to monitor soil health and verify carbon increases over the 25-year distinct crediting period.
