Revegetation projects capture carbon by permanently planting native trees to establish forest cover.
This method uses the Full Carbon Accounting Model (FullCAM) to work out the carbon captured by the growing trees, shrubs and debris (dead plant material).
This revegetation method follows the requirements for The Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) (Reforestation by Environmental or Mallee Plantings-FullCAM) Methodology Determination 2014.
If previously lawfully cleared, it must have occurred:
We were recently awarded a grant by the Australian Government's Future Drought Fund to research carbon sequestration potential in shelterbelt plantings in southern Australia.
Ai Carbon has recently worked with 10 different farms across the South Australian Mallee to:
Block plantings had similar project returns to conventional shelterbelts.
Mallee belt plantings stored:
On average, planting 5% of farms to shelterbelts would offset around half of farm emissions.
