Carbon project development wastes an enormous amount of money on parcels that were never going to work. The screening questions are answerable from public data — soil type, rainfall reliability, land use history, tenure, existing entitlements — but answering them today means a week of manual portal work per property.

Soil carbon feasibility screening

Feasibility prompt

For these 60 properties in the Riverina, rank soil carbon project potential and flag anything with a water entitlement issue.

Low baseline soil organic carbon with reliable rainfall is the shape you want. High baseline carbon means less headroom for additionality, which is counterintuitive until you have lost a project over it.

Water and tenure

State water registers, entitlement records and land use mapping join to the same parcel geometry as the hazard layers. That means a single question can span "is this land physically at risk" and "does the water attached to it actually transfer", which is normally two different consultants.

Pre-purchase due diligence

For rural property transactions the same joins produce a due diligence pack: hazard exposure, land use history, water entitlements, ACCU register entries against the title, and climate trend on the specific parcel rather than the nearest weather station.

Frequently asked

Does this replace a registered soil carbon feasibility study?

No. It tells you quickly whether a parcel is worth taking to a formal study — baseline soil organic carbon, land use history, rainfall reliability and eligibility signals — before you spend money on sampling.

Which carbon methods are covered?

Screening currently reasons about the soil carbon and environmental plantings methods. Others follow as the method determinations are encoded.
