SCIG brings focus on Soil Carbon to Canberra

18 October 2023: The businesses leading the development of Soil Carbon as a climate solution were Canberra-bound this week to meet with key decision-makers.

The Soil Carbon Industry Group (SCIG) held its Annual General Meeting in Canberra on Tuesday 18th October at 10:30 am in the Kurrajong Hotel, Barton.

With soil carbon the largest pool of carbon within human control, SCIG is leading in facilitating rapid drawdown of atmospheric carbon into soil, to deliver soil security and a safe climate. Innovation with skilled land managers is critical to success. The Australian team for action with soil carbon is well placed to support this innovation and ensure that soil carbon makes a material contribution to meeting Paris climate targets.

SCIG Members joined a meeting of the Parliamentary Friends for Climate Action on Tuesday morning in Parliament House. Meetings with The Clean Energy Regulator and the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment, and Water will also focus on accelerating participation in soil carbon projects.
