Carbon Count, Media Release, 10 December 2021

Carbon Count has today announced that its flagship soil carbon project management software has concluded its beta testing phase and is now available to soil carbon project managers across the globe.

First released as a beta version in August 2021, the Australian owned and designed SaaS platform streamlines the entire process of running a soil carbon project into a clear and simple workflow; facilitating the trade of soil carbon credits for agricultural consultancies and their landholder clients.

Its patented Fast Adaptive Algorithm for Soil Testing (FAAST) significantly reduces the time and costs associated with creating soil sampling plans and optimises returns for any farm in any region in the world, breaking down the barriers to carbon farming projects. By vastly streamlining processes and efficiently performing all complex calculations and reporting required by the regulator, the Carbon Count platform reduces the costs of managing a carbon project by up to 50%.

Since the release of its beta version in August, the SaaS platform has undergone several updates driven by feedback from landholders and agricultural consultancies.

The final version, released today, includes several user experience updates as well as major functionality and compatibility updates.

Crucially, Carbon Count now has the Clean Energy Regulator’s (CER) legislative framework for the Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) soil carbon method 2021 integrated into the platform. This integration drastically reduces the reporting process for project managers, meaning they can more easily pass audits, meet regulatory requirements and produce all reporting necessary to register and manage soil carbon projects and trade derived carbon credits in Australia and abroad.

The second major functionality update is that the Carbon Count solution is now fully functional from anywhere in the world, with geospatial mapping included for just about every country in the world.

Carbon Count CEO Phil Mulvey said complete global functionality was not on the original product roadmap this early, but international demand for the solution was impossible to ignore.

“Due to COVID-19, just about all our pre–launch activities have taken place online. Though not the original plan, this opened us up to a limitless international audience and we pivoted our product roadmap to make our solution boundaryless,” Mr Mulvey said.

“With the international agricultural community turning their attention to carbon trading and soil carbon sequestration during the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), our solution started seeing immeasurable attention from a global audience.”
