What is Carbon Scout?
Carbon Project Feasibility
Our software lets you assess profitability, understand the business case and identify the best pockets of land for a carbon project.
Build understanding
Get a step-by-step explanation of all the revenues, costs, conditions, risks, terminology, assumptions, and success factors.
Financial Feasibility
Rapidly assess yield, profitability and cashflow of a carbon project on any patch of land in Australia.
Yield Mapping
Zero in on pockets of land that could be more profitable as a carbon crop, with simple carbon yield mapping tools.
45,866
Hectares of carbon projects we've assessed
Landowners need an unbiased tool to show them the realistic carbon opportunity on their land.
Types of Carbon Projects
Native Tree Reforestation
Plant native trees as shelterbelts, wildlife corridors or bush blocks.
Soil Carbon
(Coming Soon)
Adjust management practices to improve soil health and capture carbon
Plantation Forestry
(Coming Soon)
Grow commercial timber for harvesting, carbon and other farm benefits.
How does it work?
1. Scout out the yield
Carbon heatmaps help to visualise the carbon yield potential at a regional or paddock scale (not available for soil carbon). Instantly generate carbon yield data via the Australian Government approved carbon model (FullCAM).
2. Map your project
Use our simple tools to draw carbon project areas. Plan where a carbon crop could fit best into your existing farming operation.
3. Walk-through the assumptions
​A step-by-step questionnaire allows you to tailor the feasibility to your own farming context. All the variables are explained, and default values are available to make things easy.
4. Compare scenarios
Model a range of different cost and revenue scenarios to uncover the most profitable option for you. Quickly get to the bottom line; with $ per hectare gross profit, $ cost per carbon credit produced, break-even, cashflows and more.
What makes it special?
Unbiased
Results not linked to an individual service provider, no obligation, and no exclusivity period.
Simple
Breaks things down step-by-step, provides default cost values and explains industry jargon.
Visual
Helps you to see how a carbon crop can be integrated within your existing farming operation. Summarises results in clear graphs and tables.
Rigorous
Pulls data from government approved models and allows you to quickly adjust all the critical variables across a period lifespan, to find the most profitable scenario for your farm.
