CL1.2. Estimate of Net Changes in Emissions of non-CO2 GasesEstimate the net change in the emissions of non-‐CO 2 GHG emissionssuch as CH 4 and N 2 O in the with and without project scenarios if thosegases are likely to account for more than a 5% increase or decrease (interms of CO 2 equivalent) of the project’s overall GHG emissionsreductions or removals over each monitoring period.The following non-‐CO 2 emissions will not be included: In the Baseline Scenario, oil palm could conceivablyincrease N2O emissions due to fertilization. Nevertheless,it is conservative to exclude these emissions in the finalaccounting. In the Baseline Scenario, CH4 sequestration as a result ofpeat drainage is insignificant in comparison with CO 2emissions. Therefore CH 4 is exluded.The following non-‐CO 2 emissions will be included: CH 4 and N 2 O emissions from biomass and peat burning forland clearingCL1.3. Estimate of Other Emissions Resulting fromProject ActivitiesEstimate any other GHG emissions resulting from project activities.Emissions sources include, but are not limited to, emissions frombiomass burning during site preparation, emissions from fossil fuelcombustion, direct emissions from the use of synthetic fertilizers, andemissions from the decomposition of N-‐fixing species.No biomass burning, N-‐fixing species, or synthetic fertilizers willbe utilized in any project activities. Emissions from fossil fuelcombustion no longer need be accounted for under CDM rules.CL1.4. Demonstration of Net Positive Climate ImpactsDemonstrate that the net climate impact of the project is positive. Thenet climate impact of the project is the net change in carbon stocks plusnet change in non-‐CO 2 GHGs where appropriate minus any other GHGemissions resulting from project activities minus any likely project-relatedunmitigated negative offsite climate impacts (see CL2.3).A comprehensive estimate of net changes in carbon stocks due toproject activities has been calculated in the Baseline Scenario,(see Section G2.1). Applying the Baseline to the followingequation is used to estimate net climate impacts:Net climate impacts = Net change in carbon stocks (Section CL1.1)+ net change in non-‐CO 2 GHGs (Section CL1.2) – Emissionsresulting from project activities (Section CL1.3) – Unmitigatedleakage (Section CL2.3)For Rimba Raya: 96,376,455 + A – 0 – 0, where A is expected tobe small. Therefore Rimba Raya is expected to have substantialnet positive climate impacts.209
CL1.5. Double Counting of Emissions ReductionsSpecify how double counting of GHG emissions reductions or removalswill be avoided, particularly for offsets sold on the voluntary market andgenerated in a country with an emissions cap.On 1 May 2009, the Indonesian Minister of Forestry promulgatedthe Minister of Forestry Regulation P.30/2009 on Procedures forReducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation(REDD). This regulation created the world’s first legal frameworkfor the implementation and management of REDD projects andREDD-‐generated carbon credits. The Indonesian governmentdeveloped this regulation in anticipation of the inclusion into thepost-‐Kyoto protocol of a mechanism that would allow for thetrading of carbon credits generated from REDD projects. Whilenegotiations for the successor to the Kyoto Protocol are notcomplete, it is possible – although not definite – that there will bean accounting of REDD-‐generated carbon offsets in the nextglobal carbon-‐trading protocol.At present, InfiniteEARTH intends to certify all emissionsreductions according to the Voluntary Carbon Standard GHGaccounting protocol, and all carbon credits will be registered withthe VCS registry.Nonetheless, bearing in mind the uncertainty surrounding thefuture of REDD regulation, InfiniteEARTH has developed astrategy that will prevent the double counting of carbon. Theaccompanying diagram illustrates InfiniteEARTH’s response toanticipated scenarios:Figure 46. InfiniteEARTH Double Counting Scenario Planning210
