Auscarbon Group

Auscarbon is a privately owned Western Australian company committed to carbon removal (sequestration) from the atmosphere by planting biodiverse forest ‘carbon sinks’, using over thirty endemic drought resistant species.

Since 2007, Auscarbon have established 13 biodiverse environmental planting projects totalling over 10,000 hectares and creating the one of the largest biodiverse ‘carbon sink’ portfolios in Australia.

Projects are established on degraded farmland in the Wheatbelt of Western Australia.

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

We also deliver environmental and community co-benefits, such as

  • commitment to a biodiverse landscape
  • commitment to regenerate degraded salt affected land
  • employment of local and indigenous workers
  • conservation of endangered flora and fauna

In 2015, a number of Auscarbon projects achieved Gold Standard certification – a prestigious international standard for carbon credits – recognising our project’s environmental, social and economic credentials.
