4 The contribution to the net abatement amount from sequestration for a calendar year, ASeq
- For the first reporting year, the net carbon stock change for a project area for the calendar year, Aseq, in tonnes CO2‑e, is given by the following equation:
where:
Cy is the deemed net carbon stock in the project area at the end of the calendar year, in tonnes CO2‑e—from SavCAM.
C̄B is the mean baseline carbon stock, in tonnes CO2‑e—from equation 9.
R is the release mechanism value as calculated in accordance with clause 7.
- In subsequent reporting years, the net carbon stock change for a project area for the calendar year, Aseq, in tonnes CO2‑e, is given by the following equation:
where:
Cy is the deemed net carbon stock in the project area at the end of the calendar year, in tonnes CO2‑e—from SavCAM.
Cy‑1 is the deemed net carbon stock in the project area at the end of the previous calendar year y-1, in tonnes CO2‑e.
R is the release mechanism value as calculated in accordance with clause 7.
- Despite subclauses (1) and (2), for the first calendar year in a restarting transferring project’s crediting period under this instrument, the net carbon stock change for a project area, ASeq, in tonnes CO2‑e, is given by the following equation:
where:
R is the release mechanism value as calculated in accordance with clause 7.
