As an example, Table 8.2 summarises information on cumulative abatement for 1 hectare of environmental planting. Abatement varies considerably across regions, influenced by geography and rainfall.

8.3.2 Potential revenue from environmental planting
Table 8.3 summarises the revenue (over 20 years) that could be earned from this abatement, assuming a range of ACCU prices.
Please note, an advance payment worth up to $5,000 is currently available through a pilot program for eligible Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) projects to help with upfront costs of soil sampling. More details HERE.
