NATURAL CAPITAL PIONEERS
IMAGINE ALL AGRICULTURAL LAND IS MANAGED IN A TRULY SUSTAINABLE WAY RIGHT ACROSS AUSTRALIA
We work directly and strategically with future-focused businesses on high-impact projects across the globe to deliver exceptional environmental and commercial outcomes.
Our key activities focus on the clean energy transition, waste and water management, and carbon project development focused on land protection and regeneration activities.
As pioneers in climate solutions, we use cutting-edge technology, unique insights, and sophisticated financial models to provide comprehensive climate solutions advisory and project development capability and support the businesses of the future as they shape their climate strategy, business models and financing in the global race to net zero.
ACCELERATING THE GLOBAL RACE TO NET ZERO
Frontier Carbon is part of the Frontier Impact Group, a climate-solutions advisory and investment firm, deploying specialist expertise at scale to drive financially viable, planet-friendly solutions and accelerate the global race to net-zero.
We aim to assist in the restoration of more than 50 million hectares of landscape in Australia by 2030.
We support biodiversity and healthy food production systems through holistic, regenerative land management that rehydrates the soil while supporting biodiversity, the health of our food system and building carbon in the soil.
We work with communities, land managers, not-for-profits and other organisations, leveraging environmental markets to seure investment and establish the new natural capital asset class.
Our project development governance systems deliver attractive financial and ecological returns for landowners and investors.
our measures of success
We measure the success of our holistic approach to land management with targets and metrics aimed at protecting, restoring and enhancing our ecosystems.
These elements are independent of each other and are all critical to ensuring that we mitigate the worst impacts of climate change.
Regenerating our landscapes is one of the greatest opportunities for reversing climate change because it multiplies positive feedback loops that help cool down the planet.

NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT
JUST 0.4%
JUST 0.4%
Experts say it would only take a 0.4 per cent increase per year in soil carbon content would halt the increase in the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere related to human activities.
Our ecosystem and farmers are vital for a sustainable future for all of Australia.
We believe that regenerative agriculture is the best way to improve farm performance and resilience.
With the emergence of extreme weather events such as unprecedented floods and bushfires, there has never been a more important time to act.
We provide holistic advice and support to enable land managers to boost the resilience and productivity of the landscapes under their stewardship, while also earning carbon credits to boost profitability.
We collaborate with farmers and communities to deliver programs customised to meet their specific needs.
Working with land managers to rehydrate the landscape, improve water systems, boost biodiversity and draw carbon back into the soil reduces risk and increases productivity.
Land managers and communities
Frontier Carbon has developed a customised carbon program that will assist the farming community to drive regenerative activities:
Holistic
We can package all of the carbon project opportunities on the farm into one process.
Flexible
We provide flexible financing options for developing a project, including risk-sharing.
Innovative
We provide solutions to the technology opportunities for moving to a carbon-neutral or negative outcome for farmers.
Profitable
We can place the carbon credits into the market or manage your carbon portfolio to achieve your goals.
investors and funders
We bridge the gap between on-the-ground projects and for projects to be investment-ready.
We work with land managers and the community to assist in transitioning projects to investment-ready.
We work with investors to find the investments and provide the governance and risk management oversight needed to manage the portfolio of carbon and land assets.
IMPACT INVESTMENT
Institutional investors, superannuation funds and impact investors that need to reduce the carbon intensity of their portfolios.
INDIVIDUALS
Self-managed super funds and high-net-worth individuals looking to invest in sustainable assets.
CORPORATES
Insurance bodies, carbon-intensity entities and leaders in sustainability aiming to improve their social licence to operate.
