Glenavon Carbon Project 3

Glenavon Carbon Project 3 is a soil carbon sequestration project located in the Fitzroy Basin region of Central Queensland. Situated approximately 15km north of Dululu and 55km southwest of the major regional city of Rockhampton, the project operates within an area heavily utilized for beef cattle grazing. It was registered in July 2025 and covers a project area of roughly 155 hectares.

The project operates under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative, Estimation of Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration using Measurement and Models) Methodology Determination 2021. This methodology requires the proponent to implement new land management activities designed to increase soil organic carbon stocks. Specific activities for this project include altering the stocking rate, duration, or intensity of grazing to promote vegetation cover and re-establishing pastures through seeding. By optimizing grazing pressure and introducing new pasture species, the project aims to improve soil health and sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into the soil profile.

The local environment in this part of Central Queensland is characterized by a sub-tropical climate with highly variable, summer-dominant rainfall, typically averaging between 600mm and 700mm annually. The landscape usually features clay soils, often Vertosols (cracking clays) or texture-contrast soils (Chromosols/Sodosols), which are capable of supporting productive pasture but can be susceptible to erosion if vegetation cover is lost. The proponent, AgriProve Solutions, is a prominent developer in the Australian soil carbon market, known for using a partnership model that integrates remote sensing and soil testing to measure carbon abatement.
