CHArry Carbon Project

CHArry Carbon Project is a soil carbon sequestration project located in the agricultural region of the Moree Plains, specifically near the small locality of Garah, approximately 50km northwest of Moree in New South Wales. Registered in July 2025, the project covers a significant area of 3,684 hectares. The site sits within the "black soil plains" of northern NSW, a region renowned for its fertile vertosol (cracking clay) soils and extensive agriculture, including cotton, wheat, and barley production alongside grazing.

The project operates under the 2021 Soil Organic Carbon methodology, which allows landholders to earn Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) by increasing soil carbon stocks through improved management practices. In this specific instance, the project is managed by Loam Carbon Pty Ltd, a developer specializing in microbial soil carbon technologies. The primary project activity involves applying nutrients to the land, likely utilizing Loam's proprietary "CarbonBuilder" inoculum, a microbial seed coating or soil additive designed to supercharge the natural sequestration of stable carbon in agricultural soils.

The region typically experiences a semi-arid climate with hot summers and an average annual rainfall of approximately 500-600mm, making moisture management critical for soil carbon build-up. By integrating carbon farming into active cropping or grazing operations, the CHArry Carbon Project aims to improve soil health and resilience while generating carbon credits. The capitalization in the name "CHArry" appears distinctive to this specific registration, distinguishing it from other projects in the area.
