Scoping study for cattle production, carbon and sequestration

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.
