![]() ![]() SMALL PROJECTS (5 hectares net planting or less): Can use the 'Small Project Carbon Calculator' which is simpler to complete, and conservative. ![]() Sequestration in tree biomass, litter and deadwood (and in a limited number of scenarios, soil).Emissions from establishment activities, ongoing management and clearfell.Projects should account for project carbon sequestration using the WCC Carbon Calculation Spreadsheet V2.4 March 2021 (xlsx) following the associated guidance (pdf). Accounting for project carbon sequestration Project developers should bear in mind when agreeing to sell PIUs that the tools here provide a prediction of the carbon that is likely to be sequestered, and not a guarantee that a particular woodland will sequester a certain amount. The m onitoring section explains how to assess actual carbon stocks later on in the project once the trees are growing and carbon has been sequestered. This page outlines how to predict changes to carbon stocks that will occur over the duration of the project. Project carbon sequestration is the changes in carbon stocks due to woodland creation over the project duration as a direct result of the project. It may be re-assessed at verification if there are changes to the management or growth rate/health of trees. The prediction of project carbon sequestration is checked at validation. Carbon sequestration in woodland biomass shall be restricted to the long-term average carbon stock that is projected to accumulate on the site. ![]() This includes losses of carbon through removal of vegetation (trees or other biomass) or disturbance of the soil.
