The Lyne Carbon Project has achieved successful issuance of ACCUs under the ACCU Scheme, through regenerative grazing improvements across approximately 800 hectares.
Landholder Peter Ramsey has focused on rotational grazing, exclusion fencing, and increasing plant diversity to build soil carbon and improve pasture resilience.
The Ramseys have tripled their effective stocking rate since shifting to rotational grazing under the soil carbon project.
26 June 2025: The Lyne Carbon Project in Inglewood, Queensland, managed by Peter and Angus Ramsey, has reached a key milestone with the issuance of 1,114 ACCUs under the Australian Government’s ACCU Scheme. The project, developed in partnership with AgriProve, highlights how measured, farm-led change can deliver environmental outcomes alongside productivity gains.
Spanning 809 hectares, the Ramseys introduced rotational grazing across 16 paddocks, improved pasture diversity through targeted seeding, and installed exclusion fencing to manage kangaroo and wild dog pressure. This enabled longer paddock rest and recovery periods, resulting in increased ground cover and long-term improvements in soil health.
“The carbon project helped formalise and extend the improvements we were working towards,” said Peter. “It gave us a way to measure progress and access a new income stream through carbon credits.”
Peter and Angus run goats and cattle in mixed mobs and have more than tripled their effective stocking rate since implementing their grazing system. Their approach includes regular shifts, paddock rest periods, and pasture mixes including linseed, chicory, clover and native grasses.
Utilising AgriProve’s digitally enabled Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) model, the Lyne Carbon Project was able to achieve faster credit issuance - receiving ACCUs well before the maximum five-year reporting window. Unlike other developers, AgriProve does not wait for the full reporting period to elapse. Instead, if the SOC model indicates a measurable increase in soil carbon, AgriProve deploys its team to conduct the necessary sampling and accredited third-party auditing, with all costs covered under its success-fee model. This ensures landholders are rewarded sooner for the impact they’re making.
“AgriProve gave us the framework to track the impact of what we were doing and build on it. Even if we hadn’t earned credits, we’d still have better soils and more grass - but the credits open up real options,” Peter said. “It could help fund another block or act as a reserve. That flexibility is valuable.”
AgriProve is Australia’s leading carbon soiltech developer, with over 75% of all soil carbon projects successfully registered under the ACCU Scheme. AgriProve’s success-fee model means the costs of undertaking a carbon project are removed for landholders as we share in the value created through carbon credit generation - ensuring alignment across the life of the project.
Quotes attributable to AgriProve CEO Stuart Upton:
“Peter’s approach shows how practical management changes, backed by the right support, can deliver measurable improvements in both productivity and soil carbon. The ACCUs generated are a co-benefit and validation of the great work our farmers are doing under ever increasing pressure.”
“At AgriProve, we’re committed to helping landholders like Peter and Angus turn sustainable farming into long-term value. The success of the Lyne Carbon Project is a great example of how data, technology and good stewardship can work hand in hand.”
Quotes attributable to Lyne Carbon Project landholder Peter Ramsey:
“We’ve seen three times the stocking rate and up to ten times the ground cover we used to have. That’s where the real value is.”
“Shifting stock more frequently has been the game-changer. It’s not just better for the pasture - it’s better for the animals, and better for us.”
“What I liked about AgriProve was they weren’t asking us to reinvent the farm - just to document and measure what we were doing, and make it better.”
“We’ve had a good experience with AgriProve. The process worked, the team’s been solid, and now we’ve got our first ACCUs to show for it.”
