AUSTRALIA'S CARBON SINK POTENTIAL Australia’s 445 million hectares of agricultural land, has a carbon-sink potential to sequestrate over 1,300 million tonnes of CO2‑e emissions each year for at least 40 years. This is double the yearly total of Australian greenhouse gas emissions.
WORLD EMISSIONS REDUCED BY 50% The world has 5,000 million hectares of agricultural land. If bio-agricultural practices are used on this farmland, the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by up to 50%. This farmland has a carbon-sink potential for at least 40 years.
