Reference: 22/CL/01/31 ISBN: 978-1-84057-941-3 Published Date: 01/07/2022 The key aim of this work is to develop a user-friendly, best practice tool that becomes the UK water industry standard to support strategic carbon sequestration management; forming part of the answer to the UKWIR big question “How do we remove more carbon than we emit by 2050?”.
The project includes development of an industry standard tool for calculating net carbon sequestration across each water company’s land holding and / or the impact of a water company’s work on third party land (for example a catchment partnership project). The tool can be used to create scenarios for different land management strategies so that better decisions can be made regarding carbon emissions and associated land management activities. The tool is aligned with best practice carbon accounting standards and processes.
This report does not include either the tool guidance document or the tool. There is a separately available report “Land Carbon Sequestration Tool and Tool Guidance Document” which includes the tool. |
