Boambolo Soil Carbon Project

The Boambolo Soil Carbon Project is a soil carbon sequestration initiative located at the property "Boambolo," approximately 22 kilometers south of Yass in the Southern Tablelands region of New South Wales. Registered in February 2025, the project covers a project area of 736 hectares. The property sits along the Murrumbidgee River and is situated in a region predominantly utilized for grazing sheep and cattle, often characterized by its fine wool and prime lamb production.

The project operates under the 2021 Soil Carbon methodology (Estimation of Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration using Measurement and Models). This method credits landholders for increasing soil organic carbon stocks through changes in land management. Specifically, the Boambolo project aims to increase soil carbon by altering the stocking rate, duration, or intensity of grazing. By optimizing grazing pressure, often through time-controlled or rotational grazing, the project seeks to improve ground cover and soil health, thereby drawing more carbon from the atmosphere into the soil profile.

Environmentally, the Boambolo area is classified as high rainfall for a grazing district, typically receiving over 650mm annually. The landscape features soils of limestone and granite origin, rising from alluvial river flats to undulating grazing country. These soil types are generally conducive to pasture improvement when managed effectively. A notable administrative update occurred in June 2025, when a variation was processed to remove certain areas from the project's eligible scope, likely to refine the carbon estimation area to the most suitable land types. The project is a collaboration between the landholder entity, New Kayarem Pty Limited, and the carbon developer Atlas Agri Solutions.
