What We Do - Our Business

The CO2 AUSTRALIA™ Carbon Sequestration Program (the Program) is dedicated to establishing commercial scale, permanent (greater than 100 years) carbon sinks. The Program, which is unique in the Australian market, involves establishing plantings of mallee eucalypts for the purpose of generating Carbon Credits. CO2 Australia Limited (CO2 Australia) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the CO2 Group Limited, a company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.

CO2 Australia has grown considerably since its beginnings in September 2004. The company was accredited under the NSW Greenhouse Gas Abatement Scheme (GGAS) as an approved abatement provider in November 2004, and began undertaking Programs for large energy companies.

Large scale Programs to produce the highest quality offsets available (NGACs - NSW Greenhouse Abatement Certificates) were the beginnings of the company, and continue to be the foundation of the CO2 AUSTRALIA™ Carbon Sequestration Program. However CO2 Australia recognised the demand for high quality offsets in a Retail environment. As such the company now provides offsets to the public with the same high standards as applied to the large Corporates.

CO2 Australia was the first forestry company to be accredited under the NSW GGAS, and is also the first forestry company to be accredited under the Federal Governments Greenhouse Friendly™ Program.

CO2 Australia continues to evolve with specialist demands from clients, and currently offers offsets in the following forms:

  • Online via our emissions calculator;
  • Customised quotations for small and medium businesses;
  • Payroll solutions to give your staff an opportunity to offset their emissions pre-tax;
  • Tick-box solutions to make the products / services you provide to your clients Carbon Neutral;
  • Complete solution for direct investment projects. CO2 Australia will create and manage the carbon sink, from Land Acquisition right through to Abatement Certificate generation, on behalf of a company looking to own their own carbon sink. There are a number of advantages to investing in a CO2 AUSTRALIA™ Carbon Sequestration Project;
  • Supply of Certificates Accredited under the NSW GGAS;
  • Supply of Certificates Accredited under the Federal Governments Greenhouse Friendly™ Program;
  • Carbon Bank Management.
