Why support this project?

Colodan is a great example of how environmental markets can support productive agriculture while delivering measurable outcomes for nature. Located in the Burnett Mary Catchment within the Great Barrier Reef catchment, the project protects and regenerates native vegetation in a nationally recognised biodiversity hotspot. Fourth-generation landholders have shifted from historic clearing practices to regenerative management, integrating Human-Induced Regeneration, avoided clearing and rotational grazing. More than 2,300 hectares of Eucalypt and Acacia forest are now managed alongside cattle, improving water retention, reducing runoff and enhancing animal welfare. The project demonstrates how placing the environment on the balance sheet can strengthen farm resilience while delivering benefits that extend well beyond the farm gate. 

Who we work with

This project is managed by GreenCollar, one of Australia’s largest environmental markets investor and project developers. GreenCollar partners with farmers, graziers and land managers to create high-integrity nature-based projects that place the environment on the balance sheet. Their work is science-led, grounded in practical land management, and focused on delivering lasting environmental, social and economic benefits. 

Carbon Impact

Registered in 2017, this project has issued a total of 95,306 ACCUs, meaning that it has sequestered the equivalent in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent.  

Community and Biodiversity Impact:

Colodan is regenerating 2,357 hectares of native forest in the Brigalow Belt South, a nationally significant biodiversity hotspot. By restoring Eucalypt and Acacia woodlands and improving ground cover, the project enhances habitat connectivity, supports native species and improves water quality flowing to the Great Barrier Reef. Colodan is certified under Accounting for Nature (AfN), where the establishment of environmental accounts is intended to support ongoing management decisions that may include management of grazing, fire, pests and weeds, forest retention and infrastructure upgrades to encourage maintenance and/or improvement in the condition and extent of native vegetation. 

SDGs: The project helps to address the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:

Where does my money go?

Your purchase goes to the procurement of fully verified and independently audited carbon offset projects. TEM’s operational, due-diligence, risk management and marketing costs are also included in the list price. By purchasing from these projects, you are mobilising capital to support the project’s ongoing operations and benefits, alongside of ensuring measurable emissions reductions and avoidance.

What goes into pricing TEM's offsets on this site?

You may find a difference between the cost of projects listed on this site and the average prices listed on the wholesale carbon market/s. That’s because TEM offers projects where we have gone the extra mile to ensure their integrity and deliver you the end-to-end service that others won’t. Our pricing is fully inclusive of the end-to-end services to ensure integrity, including:

  • The cost to source, deliver and/or procure projects – Sourcing, purchasing and holding carbon units.
  • TEM’s proprietary due diligence and risk management for each project – Put simply, we do the work to limit the chance that you will support a project that doesn’t deliver measurable and long-term carbon abatement.
  • Our retirement process – Following each purchase, every carbon offset purchased on this site can be transparently traced to a retired carbon unit listed on an independent registry.
    What will I receive with my purchase?

    Once we’ve received your payment, we will:

    • Send you content and copy (if available) relating to the projects you’re supporting.
    • Evidence of retirement, which includes the listing on each registry that relates to the offsets you have purchased within a TEM-branded retirement certificate. You will receive an email once your order is placed to confirm retirement copy for your certificate – this details the reason for retirement and is best practice to avoid double counting. The cost for a company-specific retirement certificate = $150 per order. Note: you will need individual retirement for Climate Active and other certification purposes.
    • Keep you updated on new projects as they’re added to TEM Online. Of course-you can choose to opt out of those emails!
