Projects

HIR is a carbon sequestration method that incentivises land managers to regenerate native vegetation by changing their current land management practices, and mitigating existing suppressors, that have prevented native woodlands from regenerating.

Eligible HIR activities include managing the timing and the extent of grazing, managing feral animals and pest plants, and the cessation of mechanical or chemical destruction of native forest regrowth.

An Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) is issued for each tonne of carbon stored (sequestered) by the regenerating forest, and the crediting period spans over 25 years.

Disturbances such as bushfires are required to be managed & reported in accordance with the legislation and method rules.

RegenCo’s portfolio of 10 HIR projects aims to regenerate native forests on properties spanning over 4 million hectares, utilising the HIR method under the ACCU scheme.

These projects are estimated to sequester up to 20 million tonnes of carbon over the next 25 years by regenerating native forest which has been suppressed due to intensive agricultural production, feral and non-native species, and unmanaged fire.

These projects will also deliver benefits for local Indigenous communities, with project revenue for seven of the projects to be shared with Traditional Owners through Native Title arrangements.
