For landowners keen to diversify revenue or businesses looking to demonstrate climate leadership, South Pole is your expert partner with over a decade of on-the-ground project development experience.
With demand for high quality carbon credits rising fast and prices increasing, new climate action projects need to be developed to generate the credits needed to reach targets set under the Paris Agreement. At the same time, there is growing recognition of the need to protect and restore biodiversity. Australia's unique landscapes and scale, combined with a well-developed carbon market and standards, creates the ideal environment for carbon and biodiversity projects to thrive.
Working across the country, South Pole's Australian team is helping to accelerate climate action by directly funding and connecting investors to new and existing projects. We are focused on creating long-term partnerships with diverse stakeholders, delivering equitable outcomes and creating positive impacts on climate, ecosystems and communities.
Australia has the third largest arable land surface in the world, a huge coastline, and plenty of sunshine. It's a perfect fit for carbon emissions avoidance and sequestration at scale.
Talk to us about soil carbon, blue carbon, savanna burning, forest protection and revegetation projects.
With pressure on Australia's resources and manufacturing sector to decarbonise, many companies are exploring opportunities to generate carbon credits using their industrial assets.
We can help identify and develop projects such as energy efficiency, carbon capture and storage and other industry methods.
Biodiversity stewardship projects can be financed by companies wishing to demonstrate commitment to the environment.
Biodiversity credits protect native vegetation and wildlife and can be used to offset a company's land use activities. These credits reflect ecosystem improvements and can be "stapled" to other nature-based solution credits.
Landholders and farm owners can benefit from establishing new carbon farming projects, implementing agricultural management activities that will improve productivity, and generating carbon credits as additional revenue. Carbon farming projects also offer the opportunity for the agricultural industry to be a leader in climate change solutions.
Ambitious and innovative companies with net zero targets could secure their carbon credit supply by investing directly in projects. Those who take the opportunity now to invest in the development of new projects will benefit from securing long-term access to carbon credits with better control over price.
Carbon projects provide the opportunity for Indigenous communities to earn revenue from their traditional land management techniques. We know that no two projects are the same, so we work closely with Traditional Owners to understand their aspirations and explore options to create equitable outcomes for all.
