Pallal Carbon Project 1

Pallal Carbon Project 1 is a soil carbon sequestration project located approximately 25km southwest of the town of Bingara, in the North West Slopes region of New South Wales. Registered in April 2025, the project covers a project area of roughly 81 hectares. The surrounding region is predominantly utilized for grazing and mixed farming, characterized by undulating country that supports cattle and sheep production.

The project operates 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 stocks through changes in land management. Specific activities for this project include altering stocking rates to improve vegetation cover, applying nutrients (fertiliser) to address deficiencies, and using soil ameliorants like lime and gypsum to manage acidity and sodicity. These actions are designed to improve soil health, thereby increasing the rate at which carbon is sequestered from the atmosphere into the soil profile.

Environmentally, the Bingara region typically experiences a warm temperate climate with an annual average rainfall of approximately 735mm. The soils in this area often consist of clay and loam types (such as Vertosols or Chromosols), which are generally responsive to the soil amelioration techniques proposed in this project. The project is managed by AgriProve Solutions, a prominent developer in the Australian market known for utilizing digital tools and remote sensing to streamline the soil carbon measurement process.
