Quetaka

Quetaka is an Australian carbon and sustainability consultancy specialising in carbon measurement, carbon farming and emissions management for agricultural businesses. Working with growers across permanent horticultural crops, including vineyards, Quetaka helps businesses understand, quantify and manage carbon sequestration opportunities as part of broader sustainability and emissions reduction strategies.

Through a collaboration with Wine Australia, AirborneLogic and other industry partners, Quetaka played a key role in advancing carbon insetting capabilities for the Australian wine sector. The project focused on developing practical tools, measurement frameworks and reporting systems that enable winegrape growers to quantify carbon stored on their properties, including soil carbon and carbon held in vegetation and shelterbelts. The initiative supported the sector's emissions reduction goals and provided growers with practical pathways to demonstrate sustainability outcomes.

The project delivered one of Australia's first vineyard soil carbon projects under the Australian Government's Emissions Reduction Fund methodology and established approaches for measuring, modelling and reporting carbon sequestration within vineyard systems. By combining soil carbon assessment, LiDAR-based vegetation measurement and recognised carbon modelling tools, the project created scalable methods that can be applied across diverse vineyard businesses and wine regions.

Quetaka's expertise in carbon project development and agricultural carbon management helps bridge the gap between sustainability ambitions and practical implementation. Its work provides grapegrowers with greater confidence in measuring and reporting carbon outcomes, supports participation in emerging carbon markets and contributes to the Australian grape and wine sector's transition towards lower-emissions and more climate-resilient production systems.
