Andersons Soil Carbon Project

Andersons Soil Carbon Project is a soil carbon project located approximately 20km northwest of Injune in the Maranoa region of Queensland. Registered on March 28, 2025, the project covers roughly 1,228 hectares of agricultural land. The region is situated about 80-100km north of Roma, a major hub for the Western Downs.

The project operates under the 2021 Soil Carbon methodology, which credits increases in soil organic carbon. Specifically, this project aims to sequester carbon by applying synthetic or non-synthetic fertilizers to address material nutrient deficiencies in the soil. By correcting these deficiencies, the project encourages more vigorous pasture or crop growth, which in turn draws more carbon from the atmosphere into the soil via root systems and biomass decomposition.

The surrounding Maranoa environment is typically semi-arid to subtropical, receiving an average annual rainfall of approximately 600mm. The landscape is dominated by cattle grazing and forestry operations. Soils in this area often include fertile cracking clays (associated with the Brigalow Belt) and red earths, which generally respond well to improved management practices such as nutrient application and rotational grazing.

The project is managed by Carbon Fix Pty Limited, a project developer known for aggregating and managing soil and vegetation carbon projects across New South Wales and Queensland. The "Andersons" in the project name likely refers to the landholder or the specific property name involved in the aggregation.
