Our Approach & Process

Capturing the value from the low-carbon and nature-positive transition is complex. Carbon Sync’s team offers full-service project development, and we’re with you, boots on the ground, for the life of your project. You retain full autonomy over the way you farm your land.

Our Process

Our process is described in the table in the section, or you can see a pictorial representation of the soil carbon farming journey here.

  • 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 for eligible land and management practices.

    We’ll need information about your recent land use activities, such as cropping activities, livestock production, and average herd numbers to get started.

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

  • Our experienced team will test baseline soil 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 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 routinely performed between 18 months and 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.
