Auscarbon Group

Auscarbon is a privately owned Western Australian company committed to carbon sequestration from the atmosphere, by planting bio-diverse forest carbon sinks with over thirty endemic drought resistant species

One of the first companies accredited under the government “Greenhouse Friendly™” program in 2008 as an approved carbon abatement provider.

Since 2007 has established six bio-diverse, environmental planting projects totalling 10,000 hectares creating one of the largest privately owned carbon sink portfolios in Australia.

Projects established on degraded farm land in the mid-west region of WA.

Our policy is designed so that tree planting does not compete with agriculture on prime farming land

We also deliver these “community co-benefits”
  • commitment to a bio-diverse landscape
  • commitment to regenerate degraded salt affected land
  • employment of local and indigenous workers
  • conservation of endangered flora and fauna
