Your project. Your profit.

We operate under a flexible and transparent carbon farming service model.

Here's how we help

We have proven experience in designing and managing carbon projects through to credit generation and reporting.

1

Feasibility

We offer two levels of feasibility assessment to suit your needs at different stages of your carbon journey.

You’re ready to understand how many carbon credits you might earn and how this looks financially and operationally. $1,500 + GST
We meet with your team to present the carbon opportunity and answer your questions. Based on your feedback, we send a finalised PDF summary of high-level feasibility including:

Eligibility criteria to ensure the project ticks all the boxes.
A snapshot of the project’s potential carbon yields, costs, profits, cash flow, risks and success factors.
A breakdown of the different CFF service offerings and their costs.

2. Feasibility Report

You’re serious about getting started and want to get stakeholders and your board onside. Price varies depending on project complexity. Average price range for a single property: $3,000 – $5,000 + GST

With this report in hand, you can develop a detailed risk assessment and financial budget for the project. The report includes all the information required to get shareholders or the bank on board, specifically:

Eligibility and suitability assessment.
Specific recommendations to enhance returns and manage risks.
Comprehensive scenario comparisons of yield, costs, gross profits and cashflow – giving the full picture.

2 Project Set-Up

We have proven experience in project design and planning services that ensure your carbon project is optimised for your land and following the relevant methodology requirements.

Our setup services are structured so that you can choose only what’s needed for your own context. You decide how much or how little support you need, and how much you want to take on yourself.

We keep prices competitive by providing a completely remote service, complemented by local experts. Every project is priced individually to make sure the project is tailored to your unique needs.

1. Project Registration

We’ll assist you to formally register the project with the Australian Government’s Clean Energy Regulator (CER).

You can choose for the CFF to assist with the following services:

Act as the project’s agent to liaise with the CER and administer applications to the ACCU scheme:
Collate, submit and monitor client (proponent) registration
Collate, submit and monitor project registration

Provide strategic advice and answer technical submission queries.
Contact relevant local authorities to confirm suitability, identify required approvals and support submissions.
Produce GIS project mapping in a compliant format.
Provide access to a range of CFF templates and checklists including fit and proper person, permanence plan, legal right, eligible interest holder and registration documentation.

Additional Project Areas

If registering an aggregated project across multiple properties, we repeat all necessary registration activities from the list above for each of the additional areas.

Project Area Variations

If choosing to add additional project areas to a registered project after the initial registration has been lodged, CFF can act as the agent to complete a project variation with the CER.

2. Project Establishment

Once your project has been registered with the Clean Energy Regulator, it’s time to get started with planning and kick off. We hold your hand ever step of the way with expert project implementation support, specifically creating and refining the critical path to successful project establishment.

Project Master Planning & Kick Off

We support you to plan a successful project:

Create a detailed workplan with project stages, milestones, roles and tasks.
Conduct a project kick-off meeting, ensuring all relevant stakeholders understand objectives, strategies, steps, processes, and accountabilities for project delivery.
Undertake mapping of project areas / carbon estimation areas (CEAs).
Complete an eligibility assessment of project plans and areas (if required).

Third Party Sourcing, Quoting & Cost Optimisation

We’ll connect you to our network of local suppliers, experts and contractors and support you in securing competitive quotes:

Make introductions to relevant contractor, expert and supplier third parties.
Source multiple quotes for project establishment deliverables.
Review quotes for cost, quality and compliance, ensuring scope optimisation to meet the needs of the project.
Provide access to a range of CFF templates including contractor quote requests and quality assurance checklists.

Detailed Design, Compliance Oversight & Coordination Support

We ensure the project is established to the desired timeline, optimised for performance and compliant with the method:

Monitor progress against the workplan and provide regular timeline updates.
Advise on strategies for cost optimisation, yield maximisation and optimal location of CEAs.
Finalise detailed project planning and mapping in collaboration with contractors.
Provide technical problem-solving advice and remote coordination support.
Collate project establishment records in preparation for future reporting.

What our mates are saying

"CFF gave advice that was in the interests of our business and the planet - without high pressure sales tactics. They are helping us jump the hurdle to get our projects going."

"It was really refreshing to get carbon farming advice that was so honest and clear. CFF's carbon heatmap gave me a quick helicopter understanding of the genuine carbon opportunity on my farm”

"The Carbon Farming Foundation's heatmap tool made it easy for us to review our portfolio of properties and home in on the areas that produce the highest carbon yields. This helped us in deciding where best to strategically locate a carbon farming project across our properties."

“CFF have provided the essential tools, resources, and support to build our understanding of carbon farming and developed our capacity to deliver our own projects. We are really excited to be working with them get our first tree planting project in the ground later this year”

“The CFF have provided practical and self-explanatory resources to get our project started. They broke down the design and planning stages of our project into a simple step-by-step process. This made it easy to for us to make decisions and engage local specialists in our area”

‘The CFF have been a valuable and knowledgeable specialist support, assisting in Gilmac’s introduction into potentially setting up and running a carbon farming project. CFF clearly understand the program and explained it well. The feasibility and heatmap really spelt out our potential returns on investment."

“The Carbon Farming Foundation has cracked the code with its do-it-yourself approach to carbon farming... Australian farmers have an exciting new opportunity to increase landscape health, farm resilience and profitability. The CFF is helping to illuminate the opportunity and to show how to use it effectively.”

"The flexibility to have an advisor but choose the relevant services was perfect for our project. In particular, being able to call as a sounding board when we received a few left field questions from the regulator and CFF's contacts with forestors were valuable. Hopefully planting will go just as smoothly!"
