Leonardo Academy’s Guide to Calculating Emissions Including Emission Factors and Energy Prices
Leonardo Academy Releases White Paper on Defining the Impacts of Forest Carbon Sequestration Offsets Leonardo Academy released a white paper today that aims to bring to light an issue that is under-addressed in emissions protocols - how long carbon must be held in forests that receive carbon sequestration credits. Determining how to recognize and reward existing forest owners for the carbon held in their forest is essential to successfully address climate change. The white paper, “Defining Forest Sequestration Impacts: Tonne to Tonne-Year Correlations Implicit in Existing Forestry Offset Standards,” introduces a new metric, tonne-years, as a way to account for not only the quantity of carbon emissions specified in a forest carbon sequestration credit, but also the length of time during which that carbon must remain sequestered. Beyond simply recognizing this new metric, the paper also calls attention to the need to determine an appropriate ratio between tonne-years of carbon sequestration and the capacity to offset a tonne of carbon emissions.
