Optimal carbon sequestration path when different biological or physical sequestration

Caparrós, Alejandro; Zilberman, David - Instituto de Políticas y Bienes Públicos (IPP), … - 2010

We set out a general framework to discuss carbon sequestration programs when different alternatives are available and each of them yields sequestration benefits far into the future and at varying rates. We focus on reforestations, since trees grow for a long time, at varying rates, and different...

REDD in Design: Assessment of Planned First-Generation Activities in Indonesia

Myers Madeira, Erin - 2009

Much of the guidance about potential impacts of reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) speculates how efforts would be implemented and draws lessons from other mechanisms, such as payments for ecosystem services (PES). However, with few REDD activities underway, little...

Forest Carbon Sequestration: Some Issues for Forest Investments

Sedjo, Roger - 2001

is described, and the potential impact of forests on the buildup of atmospheric carbon is examined. A major focus is the … means by which forests and forest management can contribute to the sequestration of carbon. The potential role of forests … include forest protection; the management of forests for carbon for joint products, i.e., the management of forests to …

Climate Change and the Cost of Carbon Sequestration: The Case of Forest Management

Goetz, Renan Ulrich; Hritonenko, Natali; Mur, Ruben; … - Barcelona Graduate School of Economics (Barcelona GSE) - 2008

The Kyoto protocol allows Annex I countries to deduct carbon sequestered by land use, land-use change and forestry from their national carbon emissions. Thornley and Cannell (2000) demonstrated that the objectives of maximizing timber and carbon sequestration are not complementary. Based on this...

The optimal carbon sequestration in agricultural soils : does the dynamics of the physical process matter ?

Ragot, Lionel; Schubert, Katheline - HAL - 2006

The Kyoto Protocol, which came in force in February 2005, allows countries to resort to «supplementary activities» consisting particularly in carbon sequestration in agricultural soils. Existing papers studying the optimal carbon sequestration recognize the importance of the temporality of...

Viability of Carbon Offset Generating Projects in Boreal Ontario

Biggs, Jeffrey; Laaksonen-Craig, Susanna - Department of Economics, University of Victoria - 2004

Carbon offsets generated under the Kyoto Protocol should be included in the management options that resource managers are considering. This paper investigates investments in afforestation for the generation of KP compliant carbon offsets in the Timmins Management Unit, concentrating on the...

Who Gains from Credited Forest Carbon Sinks: Finland and other Annex I Countries in Comparison

Kerkelä, Leena; Pohjola, Johanna; Mäkipää, Raisa - Valtion taloudellinen tutkimuskeskus (VATT), Government … - 2003

In the Kyoto Protocol carbon sinks became a tool for releasing the economic burden of achieving the emission target. For Finland, credits from carbon sinks might be important since the amount of carbon sequestered in total forest area has been large relative to total emissions. It was agreed in...

MEETING THE KYOTO TARGET THROUGH CONSERVATION TILLAGE AND ITS IMPLICATION FOR NATURAL CAPITAL MAINTENANCE, PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY, AND SUSTAINABILITY

Paudel, Krishna P.; Lohr, Luanne - Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural … - 2000

According to Article 3.4 of the Kyoto Protocol, agricultural soil could be used as a sink for carbon sequestration and hence it may provide an alternative venue to sequester the greenhouse gas emission. US plans to reduce the carbon emission amount by seven percent below the 1990 level within...

Carbon sequestration and the forest sector: Implementing an additional project based on wood products in the construction sector

MALFAIT, Jean-Jacques - Groupe de Recherche en Économie Théorique et …; … - 2008

The aim of the paper is to analyse the implementation of a climate change mitigation strategy for the forest sector. We suggest a strategy based on an increased storage capacity in wood products. An additional resource is provided by recycling and a reallocation of timber usages. In the first...
