This video showcases how companies can partner with farmers to plant trees to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and earn Australian carbon credit units through Emissions Reduction Fund projects. Revenue earned by selling those carbon credits can help diversify farmers’ income streams. The project may provide other benefits such as reduced erosion and cover for sheep to graze amongst the plantings. The tree planting projects showcased in the video uses the Reforestation by Environmental or Mallee Plantings - FullCAM method.
The Emissions Reduction Fund offers a range of opportunities for businesses, local councils, State governments and land managers to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions associated with agriculture, energy consumption, waste, transport and industrial processes. More than 550 projects are registered with the Clean Energy Regulator with over 275 of these projects securing carbon abatement contracts to deliver 92.8 million tonnes of abatement at an average price of $13.12.
