CCQI - Improved Forest Management - Key CCQI findings - CCQI score summary

The delay of harvest leads to an increase in above-ground and below-ground biomass in the project forest area compared to the baseline scenario, both at the point of harvest and on average over the crediting period. [...] In these cases, the tool shows the result for the activity with the lowest score for the respective criterion. [...] The shorter the time span is by which the rotation age is extended, the less likely it is that carbon credits are decisive in the decision to extend the rotation age. [...] On the flipside, the longer the extension, the more likely it is that a forest owner extended the rotation age because of carbon revenues. [...] The following main features define a type for Objectives of the GHG Emissions Impact our assessments: • The type of project (e.g., landfill gas utilization) 2 3 • The carbon crediting program (e.g., Verified Carbon Avoiding Double Addressing Standard) Counting Non-permanence • The quantification methodology used to estimate emis- sion reductions for the project activity 4 5 • The country in which.
