  2. Thebasisoftheproblem... Mtoe IEA (2008)

  3. STOCK USE A/R Decision 19/CP.9 GHG Net Removals ENERGY Decision 17/CP.7 Emission Reductions Climate Benefits that are potentially associated to planted forest in its many sectors Emission Reductions process Increasing Removals

  4. How is the “carbon credit” generated? Baseline GHG Emissions (E) “Carbon Credits” Project Time (t)

  5. Monitoring Process “series of elements or interrelated components that collect (input), manipulate and store (process), disseminate (output).” (STAIR, 1998) Processing Input (Monitored Data) Output (Emission Reductions) Algorithm and/or formula defined by the baseline methodology http://www.ppe.ufrj.br/ppe/production/tesis/pfernandez.pdf

  6. CDM Glossary • Monitoringofan A/R CDM projectactivity (A/R - SSC A/R) Monitoring refers to the collection and archiving of all relevant data necessary for estimating or measuring the net anthropogenic GHG removals by sinks during the crediting period. http://cdm.unfccc.int/Reference/Guidclarif/glos_CDM.pdf

  7. CDM Glossary • Monitoring plan Monitoring Plan shall include description of the proposed statistically sound sampling method/procedure to be used by DOEs for verification of the amount of reductions of anthropogenic emissions by sources or removals by sinks of greenhouse gases achieved by CPAs under the PoA. http://cdm.unfccc.int/Reference/Guidclarif/glos_CDM.pdf

  8. The Marrakesh Accords Decision 17 – COP 7 Project participants shall include, as part of the project design document, a monitoring planthatprovides for: • The collection and archiving of all relevant data necessary for estimating or measuring anthropogenic emissions by sources of greenhouse gases occurring within the project boundary during the crediting period; • The collection and archiving of all relevant data necessary for determining the baseline of anthropogenic emissions by sources of greenhouse gases within the project boundary duringthecreditingperiod; • The identification of all potential sources of, and the collection and archiving of data on, increased anthropogenic emissions by sources of greenhouse gases outside the project boundary that are significant and reasonably attributable to the project activity during the creditingperiod; • Quality assurance and control procedures for the monitoring process; • Procedures for the periodic calculation of the reductions of anthropogenic emissions by sources by the proposed CDM project activity, and for leakage effects. http://unfccc.int/resource/docs/cop7/13a02.pdf

  9. Monitoring Tools • Ex-ante TARAM – Tool for Afforestation and Reforestation Approved Methodologies – The BioCarbon Fund (World Bank) and CATIE • Ex-post SMART – Simplified Monitoring Afforestation/Reforestation Tool – The BioCarbon Fund (World Bank) – UNDER DEVELOPMENT

  10. What to monitor? Source: TARAM 1.3

  11. Basedon its pioneer CDM projects, and withthesupportofthe World Bank’s PrototypeCarbonFund, Plantar is about to becomethefirstcompany in the Brazilianironindustry, to have its iron production 100% basedonsolid biofuels, i.e. renewablecharcoal. The Plantar Case

  12. Additional benefits to the climate Project Activity Baseline Project Net CO2 removals/ 4,5 MtCO2 Plantation Establishment (Decision 19/CP.9) New planted forests Pastureland Charcoal production with high levels of methane emissions Improved carbonization process CH4ERs 0,5 – 1 M tCO2e Charcoal production with low levels of methane emissions Pig iron production based on charcoal from planted forests Pig iron production based on coal coke or non-renewable biomass CO2 ERs ~8 MtCO2 Sustainable iron production Cerrado restoration Pastureland Cerrado 470 ha The Plantar Project Activities Total: 12,8 million tCO2e over 28 years

  13. X Baseline scenario Project scenario The Forestry Activity

  14. The Monitoring of Plantar Forestry Projects

  15. The Monitoring of Plantar Forestry Projects

  16. Final remarks • The importance of monitoring projects • Challenges to project developers
