Lindsay Carbon Project 11

Lindsay Carbon Project 11 is a soil carbon sequestration project located in the Murweh Shire of Central West Queensland, approximately 35km west of the town of Augathella. Registered on March 12, 2024, the project covers a land area of 325.54 hectares. The project operates within a region predominantly utilized for grazing cattle and sheep, typical of the Mulga Lands bioregion.

The project is managed by Agriprove Solutions, a prominent soil carbon developer, and utilizes the Estimation of Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration using Measurement and Models Methodology Determination 2021. This methodology requires the proponent to implement new land management activities, specifically altering the stocking rate, duration, or intensity of grazing, to increase Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) levels. To generate Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs), the project must demonstrate a measurable increase in soil carbon relative to a baseline, verified through physical soil sampling and modelling over a 25-year crediting period.

Environmentally, the Augathella region is classified as semi-arid, with a long-term average annual rainfall of approximately 537mm. The landscape is characterized by Mulga vegetation and Mitchell grass downs. The soil composition in this area typically consists of Kandosols (red and yellow massive earths) and texture-contrast soils, which are naturally low in fertility but responsive to improved grazing management and ground cover retention strategies designed to build carbon stocks.
