* Based on a 50,000 hectare project, and certain price, species mix and land assumptions
Carbon has the potential to become the largest traded commodity in the world
Credits to be structured to comply with all current and proposed standards in Australia and

Credits may be sold into voluntary and mandatory markets
CARBON DYNAMICS prefers to sell to major market facilitators, however, future projects
may involve direct sales to emitters
