CO2 AUSTRALIA™ Carbon Sequestration Program Benefits Beyond Removing Carbon from the Atmosphere:

  • Improves regional employment. A 5,000 hectare program would lead to in excess of 180 full time equivalent employee positions being generated over the life of the project.
  • Contributes to catchment targets for soil health, water quality and quantity, riverline ecosystem health, terrestrial biodiversity as well as to sustainability of local and regional economies.
  • Improves farming profitability by maintaining and enhancing the productive capacity of the farm's soil, vegetation and water resources.
  • Improves the capacity of the farm to accommodate variations in climate and market conditions.
  • Improves the employment opportunities of farm families.
  • Prevents salinity. It has been estimated that 10,000 hectares planted will help to protect 50,000 hectares of farmland from potential salinity issues as well as enhancing the productivity of the farmland.


Why do we plant Mallee Eucalypts?

  • They are extremely long lived.
  • They withstand extreme climatic conditions.
  • They have a natural fire regime and are resistant to fire due to their capacity to resprout from a large underground stem (called a lignotuber).
  • They have biological characteristics which allow the trees to achieve relatively high biomass productivity rates in relatively low rainfall environments.
  • They are resistant to major damage by insect or plant pathogens due to the high oil concentration within the trees.
