About Us
Kimberley Carbon is Australia's Indigenous carbon exchange — where First Nations land managers sell direct, set their own prices, and define their co-benefits, and where buyers get verified ACCUs with full provenance transparency.
Transforming natural resources and waste materials into renewable products, including biochar, renewable diesel, and pelletized wood feedstock, for a cleaner, circular energy future.
Our platform brings together two fundamental objectives: protecting Country through traditional fire management while creating sustainable economic opportunities for Indigenous communities. When organisations purchase carbon credits through Kimberley Carbon, they support not only environmental outcomes but also cultural preservation, community wellbeing, and the continuation of knowledge passed down for millennia.
Our Vision
We believe Indigenous knowledge and traditional land management practices are essential to addressing
climate change.
Through Kimberley Carbon, we support Indigenous communities to protect Country, preserve culture, and
build strong futures while delivering verified climate outcomes.
Traditional Fire Management and Carbon Markets
For thousands of years, people across the Kimberley have practised early dry-season fire management
using cool, controlled burns. This approach protects Country, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and
helps prevent destructive late-season wildfires.
These practices are recognised under the Australian Government’s Emissions Reduction Fund, enabling
Indigenous fire projects to generate Australian Carbon Credit Units. Carbon credits provide funding to
support Rangers, maintain operations, and keep people connected to Country.
More Than Carbon Credits
While Kimberley Carbon facilitates carbon credit transactions, our purpose extends beyond the market. Every credit represents multiple layers of governance.
Cultural Preservation
Safeguarding and transferring traditional fire knowledge through on-Country practice, storytelling, and intergenerational learning.
Caring for Country
Protecting biodiversity, sacred sites, and landscapes through proven traditional land and fire management practices.
Community Empowerment
Creating meaningful, long-term employment for Indigenous Rangers and strengthening local community capability.
Connection to Country
Supporting ongoing cultural practice by enabling Traditional Owners to live, work, and remain active on Country.
Climate Action
Delivering verified emissions reductions through early-season burning that prevents destructive late-season wildfires.
Knowledge Sharing
Sharing Indigenous knowledge and practices with broader communities to foster learning, collaboration, and respect.
Governance and Accountability
Kimberley Carbon is guided by strong governance structures to ensure all decisions prioritize culture, community, and the environment. Learn about our board, elders, and ownership structure below.
