Scoping study for cattle production, carbon and sequestration
Specifications
-
Scope:
Technical and business case evaluation of properties suitable for the dual purpose of cattle management and tree establishment to meet development approval conditions on carbon and vegetation offsets.
-
Challenge:
Development conditions requiring establishment of trees for biodiversity and carbon sequestration represented a substantial cost liability.
-
Solution:
Verterra identified the opportunity to integrate the regulatory liability for tree establishment with opportunities for improvement of operational efficiencies in livestock management. Verterra was able to prepare a business case to establish the capacity of the integrated approach to deliver cost savings and improved management and compliance outcomes.
-
Benefit to Client:
The project will help the client evaluate the most cost effective option to reduce cattle management costs and meet mine development approval conditions.
