FutureCarbon4 - Assessing the potential of Saltbush to Sequester Carbon in WA Southwest

Written By Knee Coal I Edgy Premium Web Designer

This innovative project is investigating the potential of saltbush to sequester carbon in the Wheatbelt, potentially playing a role in the region’s goal to reach net zero emissions by 2050. The project compares new saltbush plantings to long-established plantings (greater than 15 years old) testing the impact of species choice, planting method and planting density on carbon sequestration.

The sites are being managed by Corrigin Farm Improvement Group and Facey Groups, with Murdoch University undertaking detailed assessments to determine the levels of carbon storage and feasibility of proposing a new methodology of carbon accounting.

* This project is funded by The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development’s  Western Australian Carbon Farming and Land Restoration Program and concludes April 2029.
