37  Overview of gases accounted for in abatement calculations

  The following table provides an overview of the greenhouse gases and emissions sources that are relevant to working out the net abatement amount for a plantation forest project or permanent planting project in a reporting period.

 

• Greenhouse gases and emissions sources
• Emissions source Greenhouse gas
• Carbon pool or emissions source Live above ground biomass Carbon dioxide (CO2)
• Live below ground biomass Carbon dioxide (CO2)
• Above ground forest debris Carbon dioxide (CO2)
• Below ground forest debris Carbon dioxide (CO2)
• Forest products Carbon dioxide (CO2)
• Fuel use Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)Nitrous oxide (N2O)
• Action or event Fire—controlled burn and natural disturbance Methane (CH4)Nitrous oxide (N2O)
• Fertilisation Nitrous oxide (N2O)
• Non-fire disturbances Carbon dioxide (CO2)
• Management actions other than controlled burn and fertilisation Carbon dioxide (CO2)

 

Division 4.2—FullCAM Modelling

Subdivision 4.2.1—General

38  Modelling scenarios in FullCAM

 (1) For each offsets report, the project proponent must create and run, for each CEA in existence at the end of the reporting period:

 (a) the project scenario simulation; and

 (b) the long-term project scenario simulation.

 (2) For a conversion CEA, continuing plantation CEA, or an ex-plantation CEA the project proponent must also model the baseline scenario.

 (3) Each scenario simulation must be created and run as a FullCAM simulation, in accordance with this Division and the FullCAM guidelines.

Note: The FullCAM guidelines set out how a management action or disturbance event is to be modelled in terms of FullCAM events.

 (4) Each scenario simulation must be created and run in the 90-day period before an offsets report is submitted to the Regulator.
