Pallal Carbon Project 2

Pallal Carbon Project 2 is a soil carbon project located in the rural locality of Pallal, approximately 25 to 40 kilometres west of Bingara in the Gwydir Shire of New South Wales. It was registered in April 2025 and covers 145.52 hectares.

Soil carbon projects operate under the Estimation of Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration using Measurement and Models methodology. These projects require land managers to implement new or materially different agricultural practices to build and continuously measure soil organic carbon over a baseline.

The broader Gwydir Shire region is known for mixed farming operations, including grazing for beef cattle and sheep, as well as dryland cropping. The local environment is considered sub-humid with a summer-dominant rainfall pattern averaging around 700 to 750mm annually. Soils in the area typically include fertile red and chocolate loams, black alluvial profiles, and gravelly clays.

This project increases carbon in the soil by applying synthetic or non-synthetic nutrients to address material deficiencies, lime to remediate acidic soils, and gypsum to manage sodic or magnesic soils. Additionally, it involves altering the stocking rate, duration, or intensity of grazing to promote vegetative soil cover and improve overall soil health.

The project is managed by AgriProve, a project developer highly active across the New England and North West Slopes regions. It functions alongside the adjacent Pallal Carbon Project 1 and Pallal Carbon Project 3, forming a broader effort to pair regenerative agricultural techniques with carbon credit generation to concurrently improve land resilience and farm productivity.
