Commercial Offsets -Services We Provide
The CO2 AUSTRALIA™ Carbon Sequestration Program (the Program) provides a
turn-key solution for your voluntary action, your mandatory obligation or
your investment.
The Program involves the establishment of commercial scale permanent, high
yielding Carbon Sinks. The Program, which is unique in the Australian
market, involves plantings of mallee eucalypts for the purpose of
generating Carbon Offsets.
CO2 Australia provides the complete solution by undertaking all the
necessary steps to generate your Carbon Offsets. All plantings are
undertaken in a Kyoto consistent manner, regardless of whether the
plantings are actually registered under a scheme (such as the NSW
Greenhouse Gas Abatement Scheme or the Federal Governments Greenhouse
Friendly™ Program).
