INTRODUCTION
|
|
The objective of this case is to identify project-based activities in Brazil that will generate permanent and verifiable greenhouse-gas reduction benefits eligible for crediting under emerging criteria for emissions offsets. The case will describe possible project options involving forest conservation and restoration with native species, quantify the likely carbon benefits that would result from each option, and make recommendations as to the implementation of a carbon-sequestration project that would provide multiple biodiversity conservation, sustainable development, and greenhouse-gas mitigation benefits.

TECHNOLOGY
|
Technology Used:
Projects that seeks to obtain recognition, and potentially credits, for CO2 emissions reductions and carbon sequestration must accurately calculate those reductions and sequestration over time using scientifically rigorous methods that will stand up to external review and certification. Carbon inventory and monitoring plans are designed to quantify the changes in key carbon pools in the project area and project local land-use changes by monitoring patterns of land-use change, modeling land-use trends, and analyzing socio-economic and other sources of data.

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
|
|
Benefits: Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Reduced Land Degradation/Erosion, Enhanced Carbon Sequestration, Enhanced Biological Diversity
|
Details:
First-order estimates yield a total carbon benefit of 451,756 ? 1,393,914 tons of CO2, approximately 91-93% of which would be due to carbon sequestration and 86-89% of which would be eligible under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol.
