SummaryThe economic and technical viability of carbon forestry in Queensland was examined at a local government level. Three scenarios—hardwood monoculture plantations, mixed-species environmental plantings, and managed regrowth—were modelled with a range of carbon prices and other costing assumptions. Local government areas (LGAs) in the south and east of Queensland have the greatest economic potential for carbon forestry whilst LGAs in and adjoining the Brigalow Belt contained the greatest concentration of eligible area. The managed regrowth scenario showed the greatest economic promise although spatial analysis indicates that the area eligible under current trading rules and suitable for regrowth carbon forestry is much more limited than for other scenarios. At current or foreseeable prices carbon forestry is unlikely to result in widespread landscape change or contribute significant amounts of carbon sequestration in Queensland. A carbon price of around $A30 per tonne of CO2e is required for carbon fo... |
