Nature-based Solutions with Alinta Energy
Alinta Energy launched its Nature-based Solutions team in 2022 to help customers achieve their de-carbonisation targets, by offsetting their emissions with high quality Australian Carbon Credits Units (ACCU).
When you partner with Alinta Energy, you'll work with our experienced specialists to plan and execute environmental planting and soil carbon projects. We'll estimate the ACCUs and identify the benefits for both the land and the community.
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) refer to actions that aim to protect, manage, and restore natural ecosystems to benefit society and biodiversity. Alinta Energy's NbS projects involve on-farm actions that both generate income for farmers and preserve productive land.
What are the benefits for landowners?
NbS projects offer landowners the opportunity to recognise the natural services that their land provides. They can then design a land management plan to enhance these natural services by diversifying agricultural practices and improving land resilience.
When done effectively, these projects can increase farm profitability and resilience by capitalising on underutilised land, reducing input costs, improving soil health and increasing water retention.
Diversified revenue
Yearly lease payments and the option to share ACCUs for land owners
