Carbon Farming Initiative

The Carbon Farming Initiative (CFI) is operational and the time is now right to examine the opportunities (including funding opportunities) which may be available to your organisation. 

Participation in the CFI is voluntary. If you choose to go ahead, after the initial planning stage there are seven critical steps involved in implementing a CFI project and generating offsets.

There are currently four approved methodologies for emission reduction projects – capture and combustion of landfill gas, destruction of methane generated from manure in piggeries, environmental plantings and savanna burning – and more are expected soon. 

The Net Balance CFI team can assist you in the following:

• Identify and pursue opportunities, including the developing the business case and undertake a feasibility analysis
• Project manage projects from initial pre-feasibility to project closure
• Audit and verify your CFI projects with one of our five auditors registered with the Clean Energy Regulator
• Assist you meet the Commonwealth Government’s CFI reporting requirements
• Develop a carbon strategy to take advantage of the opportunities arising from the interaction between carbon and offset markets.
