This has been an interesting thread. I'd like to offer two observations - one on form and other on content. Re. the former, I'd respectfully suggest that people post in a civil manner and avoid unnecessary qualifiers. Re. content, I find the GHG accounting discussion somewhat academic in that vegetation's role as a sink only has a few decades left according to recent research. One summary is at http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/hadleycentre/pubs/brochures/2005/clim_green/slide60.pdf. >From the point of view of what actually happens in C cycling, rather than what is convenient to those engaged in its trade, whether you decide that C from harvesting is all emitted immediately (and then accounted for in anthropogenic wood products pool), or otherwise, is really subordinate to whether the sink is going to remain a sink. What happens to the GHG accountants' books when C from the vegetation is released?

Anyway, here goes... I have been asked to provide an estimate of carbon sequestration for a very small tree planting activity. This will be only be used for educational/media purposes to try and encourage tree planting. There is no intention to seek carbon credits or anything like that. Approximately 2000 trees will be planted, made up of a range of tropical species, all of which are native to Samoa. The area for the planting was formally cleared for agriculture, but is currently classified as grassland. The planting is part of a larger project to convert this area into a botanical garden. The person managing the project was planning to use a default per hectare sequestration rate to estimate annual CO2 removals. This would allow him to say: "Once fully planted, this botanical garden will remove approx X tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere per year..." or something similar. I was a bit sceptical of this, given that the default rates are probably for natural forests, not a botanical garden. I suggested that we might be able to estimate the annual (or lifetime) CO2 sequestration on a per tree basis. At first I thought this could be done for each species, but realise that an average rate for tropical species might be available. This approach would allow us to say "The 2000 trees planted will remove approx. X tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere annually..." or something similar. I know this is insignificant in the greater scheme of things, but given all the "greenwash" out there, I wanted to try and provide a figure that has some science behind it. Any thoughts from the network would be much appreciated. In particular, I am interested in any sequestration rates for tropical tree species (on a per tree basis). I hope this makes sense and look forward to hearing from the network.

The WRI/WBCSD GHG Protocol (www.ghgprotocol.org) is a credible source for the "good practice guidance" that is part of the ISO 14064 GHG Standards. It has at least 2 publications directly relevant to your query: "Guidelines for Calculating GHG Reductions from Grid-Connected Electricity Projects", just published and available from their home page. (Note: this is just out, I have not had time to review, their publications are generally good). An Excel tool "Indirect CO2 emissions from the consumption of purchased electricity, heat, and/or steam" which contains the emission factors you are looking for; available from the "Calculation Tools" section of their web site. Be aware that this is a complex area and there is more than one approach to getting at an answer. Some approaches are more appropriate in certain circumstances than others. A further point is that there is a difference between renewable energy credits and carbon/GHG offsets. I won't go into the details, but this needs to be recognized and taken into account to build a credible carbon offset industry. Cheers ...

Notwithstanding the recent extensive discussion on this list (and other places) about biogenic carbon, and depending on the details of how the tallow is produced and how it is converted into biodiesel; a first approximation is that most of the GHG benefit of using biodiesel is that the carbon in the tailpipe emissions is biogenic, hence doesn't count under most GHG accounting rules. However, you probably need more than a "first approximation". For a start, I would refer you to two of the leading models for transportation fuels in North America that contain data in this area: GHGenius (e.g., see http://www.ghgenius.ca/reports.php?tag=Biodiesel) GREET A Google search using these model names and biodiesel should find all what you are looking for.

Through my work with local governments, I have found that two of the most common software solutions for local governments are provided by ICLEI (formerly the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives) and EPA, which provides its Portfolio Manager tool and support services to local governments for free. I believe the ICLEI software is in the process of being upgraded though a grant of the Clinton Foundation. The companies at the following Web site provide energy tracking software that is linked to EPA's Portfolio Manager tool, which measures and tracks the carbon emissions of buildings over time. These software packages may not be as comprehensively linked to CCX or the Registry as you would like, but may provide a low-cost solution for you or your clients. http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=spp_res.pt_spps_automated_benchmarking I am curious to hear responses from others, so please keep me on this email thread.
