Realising the Carbon Sequestration Benefits of Planted Forests

Realising the Carbon Sequestration Benefits of Planted Forests

01 August 2022

There is now an opportunity to offset the up-front and ongoing costs of planted forests by generating income from carbon. This is because trees capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere naturally (via photosynthesis) and covert it to carbon as they grow. The amount of carbon that is sequestered can be readily calculated and once accounted for, the carbon can be converted into ‘carbon credits’ with their value realised through the Commonwealth Government’s Emissions Reduction Fund.
