Demystifying carbon projects: Human-Induced Regeneration method — webinar
2022-12-02 12:30 - 13:30
This BeefConnect webinar kicks off a ‘demystifying carbon projects’ series, exploring real life scenarios in grazing systems.Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) projects encourage native vegetation regeneration and represent approximately 45% of all carbon credits issued by Australia’s Clean Energy Regulator to date. Native vegetation regeneration has higher sequestration certainty than many other methods and provides an option for producers in terms of offsetting on-farm emissions or income diversification. However, like most opportunities it comes with risks.Join us, as Simon Campbell (Head of Carbon Offsets & Biodiversity – Integrity Ag and Environment) unpacks how the HIR method works including:

An overview of the current HIR market.
The what, how and why of the method and how it works on-farm.
Key risks to consider.
Available decision support tools.
