Glentana Soil Carbon Project

Glentana Soil Carbon Project is a soil carbon sequestration project located on Glentana Station, approximately 100km west of Springsure in the Buckland Plateau area of Central Queensland. It was registered in March 2025 and covers 3,254.85 ha.

Soil carbon projects using the Measurement and Models methodology involve introducing new or materially different land management activities to build soil organic carbon over time. The standard requirements involve undertaking a baseline soil carbon measurement and then implementing eligible activities, with carbon increases verified through subsequent measurements or approved modeling over the crediting period.

The Buckland Plateau and Springsure region is well known for beef cattle grazing, backgrounding, and mixed cropping operations. The area generally experiences a semi-arid to sub-tropical climate with summer-dominant rainfall. The soils on the property include highly fertile clays typical of formerly Brigalow timbered land.

This project is notable as it is the first soil carbon sequestration project registered by the Australian Agricultural Company (AACo), Australia's oldest and largest integrated cattle and beef producer. The project operates alongside existing agricultural production and involves altering the stocking rate, duration, and intensity of grazing to promote soil vegetation cover, as well as converting from intensive to reduced or no-tillage practices. In May 2026, the project was announced as fully operational and eligible to generate Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs).
