Lindsay Carbon Project 8

Lindsay Carbon Project 8 is a soil carbon sequestration project located in the Murweh Shire of Queensland, approximately 70km north of Charleville and 40km west of Augathella. Registered on March 12, 2024, the project covers a specific area of 246.99 hectares. It appears to be part of a larger aggregation of projects (including Lindsay Carbon Projects 5, 6, and 11) situated on the same or adjacent landholdings, likely a large pastoral station divided into distinct project areas for management purposes.

The region is defined by a semi-arid, sub-tropical continental climate with an average annual rainfall of approximately 500mm. The landscape typically features Mulga and Mitchell grass country, used predominantly for grazing beef cattle and sheep. The soil composition in this area generally consists of red earths and sandy loams in the Mulga lands, shifting to self-mulching grey cracking clays (black soils) in the Mitchell grass downs, which are critical for moisture retention in carbon farming.

Operating under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative-Estimation of Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration using Measurement and Models) Methodology Determination 2021, the project aims to increase soil organic carbon stocks. The proponent, Agriprove Solutions Co No.2 Pty Ltd, utilizes a hybrid approach involving physical soil core measurement (typically to 1 meter depth) and modelling. To generate credits, the landholder must implement new management activities, such as altering stocking rates, implementing cell grazing, or improving pasture quality, that differ from the historical baseline to actively promote soil health and vegetation cover.
