Killen Carbon project
The Killen Carbon Project has successfully generated a total of 1,711 Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) under the ACCU Scheme. The project, which began in April 2022, covers 47.25 hectares of grazing land owned by husband and wife team, John Lawson and Philippa Yelland, who run a cattle grazing operation.
By implementing a combination of soil remediation practices and strategic land management, John has more than doubled pasture productivity, extended the growing season, and doubled the farm’s livestock carrying capacity.

John’s expertise in soil health and regeneration extends beyond his farming operations, with his other business, SoilRegen, focusing on providing sustainable soil improvement solutions. This holistic and scientific approach to land management showcases the value of combining soil health with carbon farming.

Results
The Killen Carbon Project focuses on sustainable land management practices designed to enhance soil carbon levels. Central to these efforts are soil remediation activities that improve soil structure and biology, achieved through the use of non-synthetic fertilisers and soil amendments that address macro and micronutrient deficiencies.
John was able to start the Killen Carbon Project by deferring a portion of the baseline soil sampling expenses and funding them with a part of the ACCUs generated.
John Lawson: "We've seen more than double the productivity in our pastures since implementing these soil modifications. The increase in soil carbon has not only improved the fertility of our land but also extended the growing season."
“Carbon farming revenues will enable more productive projects like ours, but capital risk management will require the kind of expertise in which AgriProve is a vital partner and the acknowledged leader”.
WHY AGRIPROVE
AgriProve uses data driven tools and unique financing mechanisms to make regenerative grazing accessible and profitable for farmers. Partnering with landholders and industry leaders to mutually benefit from carbon project success. Our unique ACCU success fee model removes the risk and creates a true partnership for the entirety of the project.
Utilising AgriProve’s innovative, digitally enabled Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) model project partners benefit from the expedited soil sampling and carbon crediting process.
““The support we’ve received from AgriProve has been excellent. Their team has a deep understanding of the system and has been instrumental in guiding us through the process. AgriProve’s expertise made navigating the complexities of soil carbon farming much smoother for us.”
