  1. Rhode Island Greenhouse GasEmission Reduction PlanForest Working Group-Background Gordon Smith Providence, Rhode Island October 28, 2003

  2. Offsets Generated by Changing Land Management • Forest carbon sinks • Soil carbon sinks • Nitrous oxide (N2O) reductions from changing fertilizer use • Methane (CH4) reductions from changing manure management • Wetland and rice paddy CO2 and CH4 management • Fuel use reductions

  3. Bio energycounted in Energy sector

  4. Typical Rates of Offset Generation

  5. Typical Forest Sequestration

  6. Accounting Issues • Baseline • Projects must show additionality • Projects must address leakage • Discount for quantification inaccuracy
