What is a carbon project?

A carbon project is an initiative that involves the reduction, removal, or avoidance of greenhouse gas emissions, which can then be quantified and sold as carbon credits on the carbon market. Coda Carbon specialises in projects developed under the ACCU Scheme, which is governed by the Clean Energy Regulator. To find out more about the Scheme, follow this link.

What are the eligibility requirements for participating in a carbon project?

Eligibility requirements can vary, but often include factors such as land ownership, land use history, and the ability to demonstrate additionality (that the project activities go beyond what would have happened without the carbon project). For Environmental Plantings projects, land must be cleared for five years and involve the planting of species native to your area.

Can I develop a project myself?

Yes you can! For some landowners who are passionate about conservation and are seeking to develop small projects it may make sense to develop and manage a project alone. That being said, there are many risks involved in developing a carbon project and having a dedicated partner who is aligned with project outcomes can be beneficial. We support all project types and are happy to answer any questions you might have about a potential project, even if it's not viable for us to participate in.

What happens if I sell my land?

Depending on your project structure, and the specific terms of the Carbon Project Development Agreement you agree to with Coda Carbon, the carbon rights will generally stay with the land title. This means if you sell your property, the new owner will inherit all of the rights and obligations assosciated with the project. Designed and implemented correctly, carbon projects and often increase the value of your property by increasing cash flows and/or providing desirable co-benefits to the main agricultural enterprise.

What are the costs assosciated with developing and managing a carbon project?

Coda Carbon initially provides a free no-obligation feasibility assessment to help you understand your carbon potential. If your property is eligible, Coda Carbon covers all project establishment costs, the majority of project maintenance costs and manages all administration and compliance activities. This structure allows you to focus on your main agricultural business and receive a passive stream of ACCUs or income with limited hassle.
