Our Past Feasibility Study (F/S) in 2011

In 2011, we made Methodology Design Document (MDD) for the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) including measuring the peat, the belowground water level, forest biomass and so on.

3. Reference Scenario
According to MDD: Option a) Legally approved conversion rate Option b) Historical conversion analysis in a reference region Option c) Conservative Estimate of a conversion rate based on literature review

Methodology: Analysis of land cover and land cover changes Calculation of emission factors in each forest stratification Calculation of net emission reductions Baseline deforestation rate in Central Kalimantan from 1985 - 2010: Average 0.397% per year

5. Estimation of Net Emission Reductions

Net Emission Reductions (NERs) = (Emissions from forest fires + Emissions from logging) natural forest regeneration (100.717,07tonC/year + 231.368,80 tonC/year) - 40.858,70 tonC/year = 291.227,17 tonC/year
No. Ecosystem Types based on Stratification Average Biomass (tonnes/ha) 94.238 126.454 150.330 139.736 185.905 68.464 116.692 45.783
