Glynn Carbon Project 2

Glynn Carbon Project 2 is a soil carbon sequestration project located in the Central West region of New South Wales, approximately 15 kilometers south of Cumnock and 45 kilometers northwest of the major regional center of Orange. Registered in March 2025, the project covers 205 hectares within the Cabonne Shire Council area. This region is a well-established agricultural zone, predominantly utilized for mixed farming operations including sheep and cattle grazing, as well as dryland cropping of wheat and canola.

The project operates under the Estimation of Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration using Measurement and Models Methodology Determination 2021. This high-integrity method involves extracting baseline soil cores to measure initial carbon stocks, implementing new land management activities to sequester additional carbon, and then re-sampling in future years to quantify the increase. For this specific project, the proponent, Agriprove, is overseeing activities that include altering stocking rates and grazing intensity to improve ground cover, alongside re-establishing pastures through seeding or pasture cropping. These practices aim to boost soil health and maximize root biomass, which drives the conversion of atmospheric carbon into stable soil organic carbon.

Environmentally, the site sits within a temperate climate zone typical of the NSW Central Slopes, receiving an average annual rainfall of approximately 600mm to 700mm, with a bias toward winter-spring precipitation. The soils in this locality are generally characterized as Red Chromosols (Red Brown Earths) and Euchrozems. These soils are historically productive "workhorse" soils for Australian agriculture, possessing good structure for pasture growth but often requiring careful management to prevent acidification and maintain organic matter levels, making them ideal candidates for a soil carbon project.
