At CQuest, we are committed to creating sustainable solutions for carbon sequestration through various innovative projects. Our efforts span multiple regions and involve diverse methodologies aligned with the Clean Energy Regulator’s definitions of carbon farming project types. Below are some of the key projects we have undertaken, are considering, or have in progress, each designed to maximise environmental benefits and contribute to climate change mitigation.
Carbon Project Type: Reforestation
- Summary: Planned 3,000 hectares of mixed indigenous trees and shrubs; did not proceed.
- Co-benefits: Potential ACCUs production of 235 tonnes/ha based on FullCAM assessment.
Carbon Project Type: Reforestation and Agro-forestry
- Summary: Community re-afforestation and agro-forestry across 139,909ha.
- Co-benefits: Financial benefits, food production, deforestation prevention, water cycle regulation, and climate change mitigation.
Carbon Project Type: Land Restoration
- Summary: Mining rehabilitation; potential carbon sequestration across 32 locations (600 ha) over 25 years.
- Co-benefits: Enhanced land restoration obligations with a total sequestration potential of 291,000 tonnes.
Carbon Project Type: Reforestation and Sandalwood Plantation
- Summary: Indigenous-managed project including re-afforestation and sandalwood plantation over 600ha.
- Co-benefits: 161,000 ACCUs; benefits in biodiversity, soil health, and economic/cultural gains for Aboriginal communities.
