Becoming Carbon Netural

The goal of becoming carbon netural is a growing trend in Australia and can be achieved by carbon offsets. By purchasing offset credits that reduce CO2 by an amount equal to that being produced, the overall amount of CO2 being emitted into the atmosphere can be effectively zero, hence carbon neutral.

Developments in emissions trading and carbon credits are now at a stage where a number of carbon trading schemes are available for participation by forest growers. Carbon in new forests may offer an additional source of income for tree growers. Growing a plantation, be it only a few trees or thousands, requires forward planning well before the first tree is planted.

Planning, technical and economic information about plantation establishment and management is available from staff at Plantation Carbon Pool Pty Ltd. Phone 08 8723 0111 today.

Clean, Green and Beautiful

Trees and plants are the lungs of the planet. They breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen. Carbon is one of life's building blocks. The green parts of trees and plants photosynthesize. This chemical process uses sunlight to convert carbon dioxide to food and energy so trees and plants can grow. Oxygen, which is essential for life, is released as a by-product.

People throughout the ages have both appreciated and held an affinity for trees and plants. They are beautiful in both kind and function.

They provide us with food and wood, biodiversity, soil, water and a pleasant landscape. We cannot survive without them.

What are Carbon Credits?

Carbon credits represent abatement of greenhouse gases which is achieved by:
Reducing or avoiding emissions.Removing carbon from the atmosphere and storing it in soil or trees such as growing a forest or reducing tillage on a farm in a way that increases soil carbon.Carbon Credits are usually purchased and used by individuals or companies to cancel out or "offset" the emissions they generate during their day-to-day life or normal course of business. Carbon credits can be used to offset emissions voluntarily or to meet regulatory requirements.
