Building Stronger Systems, From the Ground Up

Across much of WA, farms are doing more with less — less rainfall, less fertility, and less time between climate shocks. It’s not that farmers aren’t managing well. It’s that the systems they rely on are becoming too fragile to hold.

We work with farmers to strengthen what the farm depends on — soil, water, and life.

Our approach starts with the farm as a whole — not as a set of problems to fix, but as a living landscape to strengthen. We look for the key constraint: the bottleneck limiting function. Then we scaffold around it — putting the right pieces in place to help the land work better, for longer.

We are dryland specialists. We design for feedback, not just inputs. And we stay with you — walking the paddock, tuning the system, building a farm that keeps working even when conditions change.

Carbon’s an outcome…. but it’s not the reason we’re here.

Farmers have been managing ecosystems for generations - often without recognition, and without reward. It’s time that changed.



Our Service Offering

  • The productivity and profitability of your enterprise are our primary focus. Improvements in the health of your soil can be measured and monetised through carbon credits. Carbon Sync helps you capture this benefit.

  • Through participation in our programs, you will establish an emissions baseline and reduce your farm emissions. This will prepare your business to capture market opportunities by supplying low-carbon commodities.

  • While farmlands are privately owned assets, the ecosystem services provided by farmland are public goods. For the first time, the work you do caring for the environment has a market value. You can now be paid for ecosystem service enhancement. Carbon Sync is here to support you in capturing this value.

Our Cost-Benefit Report will help you assess if soil carbon farming is a fit for you and your land.

It’s free if you sign up for our Soil Carbon Farming Program.

What people are saying

  • The Cost-Benefit Report prepared by Carbon Sync was thorough and clear and outlined in detail the possibilities for our specific farmland. We feel that we have a clear contract, with great foundations, that will complement our current farming practices well for the duration of the 25-year soil carbon farming project. We have gone forward with confidence that we will continue to improve farm practices, learn and grow over this time with a potential for an economic reward down the track. We are looking forward to working with Carbon Sync.

Soil Carbon Farming Projects in Western Australia

These are some of the soil carbon sequestration projects registered with the Clean Energy Regulator in Western Australia.

Approximately 15,000 hectares of farmland, spanning Albany in the south, to Geraldton in the north, and Tammin in the east, are enrolled in Carbon Sync projects.

Boots on the ground. No matter the conditions.

Located in Western Australia, Carbon Sync partners with farmers to build healthier, more resilient farms - while getting paid for it.

For generations, farmers have supported the ecosystems that agriculture depends on — without recognition, and without reward. We’re here to change that.

We co-develop soil carbon projects that reflect the real work happening across the landscape — not just tonnes sequestered, but the return of resilience.

Our projects are scientifically grounded, adaptive, and built to last. They generate credits — but more importantly, they support stronger farms through better systems.

And we bring more than advice — we bring tools, data, design, and commitment, on the ground. We're in it for the long haul.

Our Process

  • To be eligible for the program, you must:

    • Have a cleared or cropped farming area of at least 1000 hectares;

    • Be in the South-West Land Division of Western Australia; and

    • Adopt at least one new management practice for the project's life to store carbon in your soil.

    Visit our Farmers Ask Questions page to learn about eligible land and management practices.

    To get started, we’ll need information about your recent land use activities, such as cropping activities and livestock production.

  • Once you’ve met the eligibility criteria, we register your project with the Australian Clean Energy Regulator (CER).

  • Our experienced team will establish your baseline soil carbon stocks using advanced soil sampling equipment and technology. We will also calculate a baseline for your farm’s emissions.

  • Carbon Sync’s team will work with you throughout the life of your carbon farming project. We will assist you in identifying and applying the new management practices best suited to enhancing the health of your farm ecosystem.

  • Carbon Sync will provide on-farm and virtual education and support (including peer support) throughout the 25-year project.

  • Re-sampling and soil testing of the project area are performed routinely every 18 months to five years after baseline sampling.

  • When your soil organic carbon has increased, we will apply to the Clean Energy Regulator for the issue of carbon credits (ACCUs).

  • When you work with Carbon Sync, you control your carbon credits. You can choose to hold or sell your credits. In the event you choose to sell your credits, Carbon Sync can help. We hold an Australian Financial Services Licence, which enables us to transact with the industrial sector, capturing the highest value for your credits. Carbon Sync does not charge fees for this service.
