This is where sequestration projects can be credited before they actually achieve the sequestration base using a ratio of one tonne of emissions is equal to the 100 year carbon forcing of a 55 year sink. They pay for the sequestration immidiatly on the guarentee of planting even though the trees may not achieve that level of sequestration for 40 or 50 years for example. Is the tonne year approach preferable?

I thought this community might be able to share some insight and set me straight. The central question is do people normally, or is it possible to, use psi data to determine fugitive emissions from a refrigerant source? For example, say I had a repairman install a new tank on Jan 1 that holds 10 kg of refrigerant. Before he leaves, he confirms that the pressure level is 70 psi. The following year, when the repair returns on Jan 1, the tank has lost some pressure and is now at 63 psi. I assume that this indicates some level of fugitive emissions. Can I assume a one to one loss ratio? That is, if the tank loses 10% of its pressure, does it also lose 10% of the refrigerant or is the issue more complex? I suppose if there is enough leakage, the repairman will put more in and I can determine the loss by the amount that was used to refill the tank, but what about if there is only a small amount of leakage that does not warrant refilling the tank? Thanks, Evan Gillespie From doregan at libertyenviro.com Tue Aug 5 15:56:50 2008 From: doregan at libertyenviro.com (Dennis O'Regan) Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2008 15:56:50 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [GHG Network] Tracking Fugitive Emissions Message-ID: <20080805195650.091C1C18065@milkyway.forumone.com> Evan: An engineer in my office says, you can estimate the losses that way. Here is what she wrote: "Yes, it is that simple for a rigid tank (constant volume) and constant temperature for an ideal gas (must be an ideal gas, not mixed phase). Under the ideal gas law: PV=nRT and rearranging, P/m=RT/V=constant and therefore, P1/m1=P2/m2 So you can estimate the new mass by: m2 = P2/P1 x m1, which is indeed a linear relationship." You can find what the paramenters are here: http://www.ausetute.com.au/idealgas.html You probaly can find other sourcres as well. I'm not an engineer so I'm clueless to explain it to you. A related question is should you use these estimates in the first place? Why not just wait until the unit is recharged (to its full charge rate) and use the amount added as being equivalent to the amount lost? Say you estimate the losses fo '06 and '07. Then you service the machine and add 50 lbs in '08. You then have a reliable piece of information for '08 that needs to be reconciled with the estimates for the prior two years. I would rather rely on the mass balance rather than the estimates of system pressure. Note that USEPA requires specific recordkeeping and compliance activities for comfort cooling and refrigeration equipment cotaining 50 lbs or more of a Class I or II ozone depleter or a substitute refrigerant. Each time refrigerant is added, the owner or operator is required to calculate an annualized leak rate and, if it exceeds certain thresholds, repair the unit. So, if you estimate the loss based on pressure, you are backing into an approximate leak rate that suggests you repair the unit if its loss exceeds the threshold. One more item. Most GHG accounting protocols do not include CFCs and HCFCs since they are already governed by the Montreal Protocol. In most instances, you would only account for HFCs. I believe you can offset your CO2-e emissions if you can document the destruction of CFCs and HCFCs.

I've looked at the LULUCF Good Practice Guidance, but have found more useful using a paper by Fearnside (2000) [Global Warming and Tropical Land-Use Change: Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Biomass Burning, Decomposition and Soils in Forest Conversion, Shifting Cultivation and Secondary Vegetation. /Climatic Change/ 46: 115-158.] In the paper, the author concludes that the total emissions for land-use change (not considering uptake of intact forest, recurrent burning of savannas or fires in intact forests) is equal to "2.4 x 10^9 t C, equivalent to 2.4--2.9 x 10^9 t of CO2-equivalent carbon." Am I reading this correctly? What is the difference between "CO2-equivalent carbon" and simply "CO2-equivalent"? A back of the enveloped calculation using emission factors for CO2, CH4 and N2O accounting for burning and biomass decay (see top of Table XIII in Fearnside (2000)) and converting by GWP would suggest that 2.4 x 10^9 t C is equal to about 7.9 - 9.1 x 10^9 t CO2-equivalent. That is, the emission factor is 3.3-3.8, while the paper above suggest approximately 1. Why this difference? Is this because Fearnside is assessing net emissions while I am interested in gross emissions (ie, without accounting for offsite carbon uptake)? I realize there might be some differences in emission factors resulting from the variability of biomass burning, including a need to account for variability in fire intensity and charcoal production. But I just want to confirm that I'm not an order of magnitude off if I'm trying to estimate gross emissions from data describing the pre- and post-burn carbon stock per ha (tC/ha) from a chronosequence of tropical forests in central Africa subject to swidden agriculture. If you would have any insights, please let me know. Thanks!

However, in preparing the project proposal, they have to find solutions for various issues including the two below: What to do with the sludge? The dairy farmers are mostly landless and have no use for the sludge as fertilizer. Since whole areas are involved in dairy farming there is currently no interest in those regions and everybody just dumps it in the environment with all its consequences. We are especially concerned about nitrate entering surface and ground water resources. The manure is around 90% water, meaning that transporting it to other districts where crop farmers might be interested may economically not feasible. Can we recycle the water? Dairy farming is using a lot of water. As a very rough indication the following example: in a village with 200 farmers each having 4 animals uses around 60 l water/animal/day, and generates around 40 l wastewater (from urine, manure, and cleaning animals & stalls) per animal will create in total 40,000 l waste water per day. This is currently either dumped as sludge without any treatment into the environment. Some farmers dry the sludge in the sun and then dispose the dried material. However, the drying is done in the backyard without proper facilities meaning percolation of nitrate rich water into the ground. Sun drying in the backyard is also problematic during the monsoon. Climate change predictions indicate East Java will become dryer. With water scarcity already an issue at the end of the dry season, it is expected that this will become more problematic the coming years highlighting the need to protect & conserve water resources. We are thus searching for ideas / experiences regarding the following: 1) an effective, low-tech and environmentally friendly way to separate the water and dry matter 2) marketing opportunities for the dry matter (make fertilizer pellets? Make paper?) 3) an effective low-tech method to purify the water to an acceptable quality for recycling Your experiences & ideas would be most welcome.

We are in the test phase and are looking for expert reviewers. If this intrigues you, please get in touch and I can let you know more. Also, I am looking for volunteers to help with translation of some associated guidance documents. Any leads on translators that could handle some technical GHG language in the UN languages, Korean, or Portuguese would be appreciated. About Project 2 Degrees Project 2 Degrees was created to give cities around the world practical tools to measure and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. The project?s Web-based Emissions Tracker software enables cities to calculate the carbon footprint of both municipal operations and the communities they service in a uniform way. Additionally, the tool enables cities to plan meaningful actions that save energy and money and that make a profound impact in the fight against climate change. Project 2 Degrees software allows cities to establish a baseline on their greenhouse gas emissions, manage inventories, create action plans, track the effectiveness of their emissions reduction programs, and share experiences with each other. It will be the first global, multi-lingual emissions measurement toolset available 24 hours a day, seven days a week via the Web. Project 2 Degrees is a partnership of the Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI), Microsoft and ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability in collaboration with the Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT) and Ascentium.

You will find below and attached to the mail a call for CDM projects and projects in the Voluntary Market. Please, spread this information as widely as possible to help the project sponsor. Thank you in advance Houssin J?r?my Energy and Climate Change consultant CASCADe Workshops in SENEGAL - From the 8th to 12th of September 2008 A Call for CDM projects and projects in the Voluntary Carbon Market for project sponsors in Senegal who want to participate in a Capacity Building workshop. Types of projects eligible The workshop is open to project sponsors who work on Agro forestry, reforestation, avoided deforestation, and bioenergy (e.g., cogeneration, renewable energy linked to agriculture and reforestation). The workshops The workshops are composed of three training days focusing on CDM (Clean Development Mechanism in Kyoto protocol) and the Voluntary Carbon Market; followed by two days devoted to face to face discussion with experts to provide technical support. Workshop financing The workshop is financed by the UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme). Registration As a result of a limited number of spaces available for project sponsors, registration is to be done by sending a file introducing the project, to: Jeremy Houssin: Jeremy.Houssin at erm.com or to the Senegalese Designated National Authority of (DNA) : Miss Madeleine Diouf Sarr - mad1 at sentoo.sn For the project sponsors who are already registered by the UNEP for the Africa Carbon Forum, please indicate your UNEP registration number. Programme objectives CASCADe primarily aims at enhancing expertise to generate African carbon credits in LULUCF as well as bioenergy activities. The programme will provide institutional support, training workshops, and both regional and international knowledge transfer. Pilot projects and case studies in asset classes such as plantation forestry, agro forestry, and bio fuels will open up opportunities for African participation in the CDM and the voluntary carbon markets. In addition, the project will facilitate the establishment of a stakeholder network for technical cooperation and linkages between carbon buyers and sellers. The programme's findings will also serve to contribute to the policy debate towards a post-2012 climate regime, casting light on key issues such as eligibility of avoided deforestation and land degradation projects in CDM-type initiatives. CASCADe Project in Senegal and Benin As far as Senegal and Benin are concerned, the CASCADe project is managed by ERM France and in particular by its Energy and Climate Change team leader, Robert Vergnes supported by his teams in France, Senegal, and Benin. In the sixteen months that follow, ERM France and UNEP, working in partnership with local governments, NGOs, and industry will organise training modules, workshops and provide technical support to help local actors to develop PDDs (CDM and Voluntary Projects in AFOLU (Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Uses), Energy and Bioenergy).
