Carbon Sequestration in US & South Australia

Carbon sequestration involves removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in carbon sinks like forests, plants, and soils. There are several methods for carbon capture and storage including post-combustion capture from flue gases, pre-combustion capture during fuel processing, and oxy-fuel combustion capture producing a concentrated CO2 stream. Captured CO2 can be stored underground in depleted oil and gas reservoirs, deep saline formations, or unmineable coal seams. In South Australia, carbon sequestration involves revegetation, encouraging woody crops and plants, managing cropping and grazing, and maintaining natural ecosystems to store carbon in soils and biomass. Potential carbon offset projects include native forest restoration

Carbon sequestration is the process of

removal and storage of carbon (i.e. carbon


dioxide, CO2) from the atmosphere in
carbon sinks (such as forests, woody
plants, mangroves or soils).

SOUTH AUSTRALIA
Sustainable land and water management practices is a key way to encourage carbon sequestration. In South Australia,
such practices include:
• Revegetation of cleared land areas with environmental plantings to provide ecosystem services such as biodiversity, soil
protection and reduced salinity
• Encouraging the use of woody crops in farming landscapes (e.g. farm forestry, renewable bioenergy crops, carbon crops and
fodder shrubs)
• Managing annual cropping and grazing practices in ways in which retain more carbon in soil
• Maintaining or increasing the health of natural vegetation systems in conservation areas, remnant vegetation on farms and
pastoral regions and sea grass meadows.

CARBON OFFSET OPPORTUNITIES IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA


There are a number of ways to store carbon across South Australia’s diverse landscape that have
many environmental, economic and social co-benefits. Potential carbon offset projects in SA
