43 Carbon dioxide equivalence of change carbon stock for a project area with 60% probability of exceedance
Calculate the carbon dioxide equivalence of the change in soil organic carbon stock for a project area between the baseline sampling round and the last sampling round associated with a 60% probability of exceedance (the View image in the official source), in tonnes of CO2-e, using the following equation:
| View image in the official source View image in the official source | equation 42 |
View image in the official source is the value for View image in the official sourcein tonnes of soil organic carbon per project area, given by equation 41.
View image in the official source is the sum of:
(a) if the carbon content of any biochar applied in all CEAs in the project area from the declaration of the project to the end of the reporting period is known—the amount of carbon in that biochar, in tonnes; and
(b) if the carbon content of any biochar applied in all CEAs in the project area from the declaration of the project to the end of the reporting period is not known—the total quantity of that biochar (if any) applied in all CEAs in the project area from the declaration of the project to the end of the reporting period, in tonnes.
Note: The value View image in the official sourceconverts tonnes of carbon to tonnes of CO2-e.
