Iberdrola - Carbon2Nature Australia Case Study

How Land Life partnered across entities and jurisdictions to deliver a scalable, high-integrity ACCU (Environmental Plantings) solution.

Managing Complexity to Deliver High-Integrity ACCUs at Scale

The challenge: A board-level commitment

Iberdrola Australia formalised a commitment to procure high-integrity Environmental Plantings ACCUs. Land Life partnered with Carbon2Nature Australia (C2NA) to deliver on this commitment*.

The carbon credits needed to deliver:

  • Integrity and durability
  • Biodiversity and social outcomes
  • Governance and long-term land security
  • Certainty on pricing and risk

Carbon2Nature Australia required a project that could meet these standards quickly and credibly.

The partnership: A multi-entity collaboration


Land Life partnered with:

  • Carbon2Nature headquarters (Madrid)
  • Iberdrola Group headquarters (Madrid)
  • Carbon2Nature Australia (Sydney)
  • Iberdrola Australia (Sydney)
  • Cassinia Environmental (Regional Victoria)
  • Wirangu and Nauo Aboriginal Corporation (Eyre Peninsula)

This required managing governance across multiple jurisdictions, boards and compliance frameworks.

*C2NA is a subsidiary of Carbon2Nature, the dedicated global nature restoration company of Iberdrola, and its local subsidiary Iberdrola Australia. Iberdrola is considered one of the largest and most influential renewable energy companies in the world.
