Asking the hard questions. Get the facts on natural disasters, carbon reversal and property changes - and how best to save or exit your soil carbon project.

Watch The Recording

You're doing the due diligence, but the biggest questions often go unanswered:

  • "What happens if I hit a drought?"
  • "What if the farm changes hands?"
  • “What about resource and renewables development?”
  • “When do I have to return ACCUs?”

We understand these concerns. Soil carbon is a long-term venture, and you need to know the risks before you start. Atlas Carbon is a partner for your project - so we share these risks and will help you manage them.

The Risks We Covered (And How to Respond)

A range of events can impact your soil carbon project, but knowing the rules gives you back control. We'll show you how to manage the challenges that can put your carbon project at risk.

  • Natural Disasters: Learn strategies to safeguard your project, minimise loss, and build back carbon storage - reducing the risk of ACCU relinquishment.
  • Property Changes: Whether you are selling or handing the property over to the next generation - what steps do you need to take
  • Land use change:  Whether it’s resource or renewables development or farm development - what are your options to amend your soil project so it is still successful.
  • Ending a Project: Sometimes, a project just doesn’t work out.  What you need to know about exiting a project in the best way for you.

Why This Information Matters to Your Property

Entering a carbon project is a big decision.  Atlas Carbon works with you to ensure you have the right information before you sign up.  But a lot can happen in the space of 25 years.

This webinar will discuss the key concerns you have and how we can manage them together.
