| description | At present, the world is facing many crises. One of the major crises is the climate change problem or the greenhouse effect caused by carbon dioxide that is released into the atmosphere. This is ranked as the main cause of global warming. The purpose of this research was to develop a prototype project for carbon storage and GHG emissions reduction from the agricultural sector according to T-VER methods developed for Thailand. The research methods were to calculate the carbon storage of trees and the GHG emissions reduction according to the T-VER-METH-AGR-02. The results of the project implementation can summarize the amount of GHG in the whole study area of 115,520 m2 as follows; The carbon storage from the yearly project implementation was at 69.54 tCO2e/y and the carbon storage within 7 years of the project implementation was at 486.78 tCO2e. The GHG emissions reduction from the yearly project implementation was at 0.307 tCO2e/y and the GHG emissions reduction within 7 years of the project implementation was at 2.149 tCO2e.. The calculation of the amount of carbon storage and GHG emissions from the activities during the project lifetime was found at 488.93 tCO2e. In addition, orchard owners can use this research-based approach to calculate the carbon storage of trees and the GHG emissions reduction in their orchards and to prepare for the carbon offset process from voluntary sector under the T-VER. |
