CARBON FRIENDLY TO COMMENCE VALIDATION PROCESS OF NORTHERN POLAND AFFORESTATION OFFSET PROJECT
VANCOUVER, April 19 /PRNewswire/ - Carbon Friendly Solutions Inc. (CNSX: CFQ) ("CFS" or the "Proponent") through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CO2 Reduction Poland Sp z.o.o, is pleased to announce the submission of its Northern Poland Afforestation Offset Project (the "Project") Project Design Documents (PDD) for validation under the International Organization for Standardization specification for quantification, monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emission reductions or removal enhancements (ISO 14064-2). The Project has been submitted to Conestoga-Rovers & Associates ("CRA") for the validation of the PDD and all Verified Emission Reductions ("VERs") expected to be generated by the project activity.
The Project areas contain an aggregate 4,823 hectares of privately owned lands in post-agricultural, degraded conditions. The Proponent has planned the planting of 24,248,000 trees, primarily consisting of various native species, on a 3,599 hectare portion of the total land area. The Project is expected to increase carbon stocks through Biomass Growth and Soil Organic Carbon by approximately 10,730 tonnes of Carbon (tC) per year over 40 years, equivalent to a total of approximately 429,000 tC. The expected annual atmospheric Carbon Dioxide (CO2) removals resulting from the Project activity are 37,500 tonnes CO2 emissions (tCO2e), equalling at total of approximately 1,500,000 tCO2e over the 40 year crediting period of the project.
CFS has developed comprehensive Project Design Documents using IPCC Good Practice Guidance for Land-Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (GPG-LULUCF, 2003) Methodology, which defines universally accepted methods for estimating, measuring, monitoring, and reporting on carbon stock changes and greenhouse gas emissions. GPG-LULUCF 2003 is compatible with ISO 14064-2 and provides methodologies and guidance for emissions accounting and "good practices" to ensure transparency, consistency, and completeness in reporting and documenting all GHG assertions.
The Proponent anticipates that the project will meet validation requirements within 3 months of application. The VERs will be validated and verified to the ISO 14064-2 specification for quantification, monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emission reductions or removal enhancements. The Project's anticipated 1,500,000 high-quality VERs are expected to obtain the average 2009 over-the-counter price of $6.50 USD per tCO2e (Building Bridges, "State of the Voluntary Carbon Markets 2010"), equivalent to a total $9,750,000 USD in revenue. The Proponent selects the conservative market value of $5.00 USD per tCO2, equivalent to $7,500,000 USD in revenue from the sale of the aforementioned carbon offsets.
Carbon Friendly's President & CEO, Stan Lis, has commented: "We are pleased to initiate the validation of our high-standard forestry offset project. We are excited to be working with CRA and look forward to the next step in the validation and verification process."
