Diversified Property Group - Carbon Project

Palmerville Station in collaboration with the Aboriginal Carbon Foundation and the Western Yalanji Ranger Program developed a Clean Energy Regulated Carbon Project. The Project is located on Palmerville Station, Cape York, Queensland. The project type is carbon avoidance and carbon sequestration using the Savanna Burning methodology. 

The savanna burning methodology uses Cold fires early in the year allow for the reduction in carbon emissions and the sequestration of carbon into soil. To learn more about Savanna Burning, please click the below link.

Aboriginal Carbon Foundation - Savanna Burning

The Western Yalanji Rangers carry out cultural burning on Palmerville Station, providing employment and training for the traditional owners on country. This collaboration earns the carbon project and the Australian Carbon Credit Units a 'social co-benefits' rating.

CARBON FARMING: SAVANNA BURNING

Savanna burning is about reducing emissions from fire. Savanna fires release methane and nitrous oxide into the air, which are strong greenhouse gases. By burning in the early dry season when fires are cooler and patchy, and burning less country, there will be fewer emissions of these gases and an environmental benefit.Reducing fire emissions is a lot about applying traditional patchwork burning.Savanna burning is an emissions reduction project, not a carbon storage project like tree planting. It is an approved methodology already in practice, in several places across Northern Australia.Additional information below and in our Savannah Burning Explained document.

Catalyst Markets

Catalyst Markets is the first Indigenous trading platform, developed and operated by the Aboriginal Carbon Foundation

Catalyst Markets was developed to encourage and enable investment in Indigenous carbon farming and cultural fire, including both sharing of knowledge and implementation. This has far-reaching core benefits for Indigenous communities, their Country, and the environment as a whole.
