The change in emissions from all emissions sources within each carbon estimation Step 9 – area must be summed to derive net change in project emissions for the carbon estimation area. The net change in project emissions for each carbon estimation area must be Step 10 – summed to derive net change in project emission for the project area. Net change in project emissions for the project area must be subtracted from total Step 11 – sequestration for the project area to derive net abatement for the project area. Subdivision 4.2.2 Calculating soil carbon sequestration 4.5 Sequestration amount in each carbon estimation area The Sequestration Values sets out an annual amount of sequestration for each project management activity undertaken in accordance with the determination. Proponents must calculate the amount of sequestration that has occurred in each carbon estimation area using this table. Subsection 4.5(2) specifies how to obtain the sequestration value for the relevant project management activity from the Sequestration Values Table. Subsection 4.5(3) requires that the sequestration value be multiplied by the number of years that the activity was carried out in the reporting period. Subsection 4.5(4) requires that the sequestration for each project management activity within the reporting period be summed. Subdivision 4.2.3 Calculating project emissions—general Subdivision 4.2.3 sets out general requirements for calculating the project emissions from sources in the greenhouse gas assessment boundary in section 4.3. The emission sources are: Livestock—section 4.6; Synthetic fertiliser—section 4.7; Lime—section 4.8; Residue—section 4.9; and Irrigation energy use—section 4.10. Division 4.3 Calculating baseline emissions Subdivision 4.3.1 Calculating baseline emissions—livestock 4.11 Livestock emissions during baseline emissions period Emissions from livestock will vary from year to year in the baseline emissions period due to factors such as environmental variation and management cycles. Section 4.11 sets out alternative approaches for proponents to calculate baseline livestock emissions: a default approach historic stocking rate data (referred to in the determination as and livestock baseline A); an alternative approach using assessed carrying capacity (referred to in the determination as livestock baseline B).
Step 9 – The change in emissions from all emissions sources within each carbon estimation area must be summed to derive net change in project emissions for the carbon estimation area.
