The protocols in use for new projects have been profoundly modified and are sheltered from criticism. ARR projects are fewer in number and are characterized by significant upfront costs (reforestation) that delay the break even of the project. In addition, it is difficult to convince a landowner located in suitable areas to have reforestation that produces a profitable amount of annual biomass (which corresponds to the amount of CO\u2082 captured) (15 tCO\u2082e\/year\/Ha) to reforest an area (grassland) that is usable for otherwise profitable agricultural uses except with a land remuneration that goes heavily into the project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">A REDD+ project is proposed.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2bc6c44 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2bc6c44\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What extent must a forest conservation project (REDD+) have to produce 25,000 tCO\u2082e\/year assuming a production of 9 tCO\u2082e\/year\/Ha ?<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d277846 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d277846\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">To calculate the required extent of a reforestation project for it to produce a given amount of tCO\u2082e per year, we can use a simple formula:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-02caf32 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"02caf32\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"549\" height=\"138\" src=\"https:\/\/oxygensavestheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Schermata-2023-10-31-alle-14.29.43.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4076\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oxygensavestheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Schermata-2023-10-31-alle-14.29.43.png 549w, https:\/\/oxygensavestheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Schermata-2023-10-31-alle-14.29.43-300x75.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 549px) 100vw, 549px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-545100d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"545100d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">Therefore, a forest conservation project (REDD+) would need to extend about 2,777 hectares to produce 25,000 tCO\u2082e per year, assuming a production of 9 tCO\u2082e per hectare per year.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a33724 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5a33724\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\"><b>This translates into an investment of about 1 million euros<br \/><\/b><b>an annual VCU yield of 250,000 euros (assuming a VCU unit cost of 10 euros) for 12 years.<br \/>The project can be renewed upon expiration by incurring only the cost of renewing the project at Verra.<\/b><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74bf6a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"74bf6a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">The data are deduced from a project in development 5 times larger in size (11,090 Ha) whose Asking Price is about 3.2 million.

In addition, as energy is generated, the related emissions (or missed emissions) can be classified as Scope 1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">However, when we talk about offsetting Scope 1 emissions, such as those from the use of auto-traction fuels, with domestic renewable energy production, we enter a gray area. Ideally, to offset Scope 1 emissions, those emissions should be reduced directly, such as by replacing fossil-fueled vehicles with electric or hydrogen vehicles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Recording renewable energy produced abroad in the sustainability report of an Italian-based company can be a complex issue and could be affected by various factors, including the sustainability reporting standards followed, local laws and regulations, and the company&#8217;s specific operating circumstances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If, for technical or operational reasons, these emissions cannot be reduced, producing renewable energy internally can actually help improve the company&#8217;s overall sustainability profile and reduce its overall environmental impact. This domestic renewable energy production can indirectly offset Scope 1 emissions, but it is not a direct offset in terms of standard GHG protocols.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In practice, many companies take a combined approach: they reduce emissions wherever possible and offset irreducible emissions through various mechanisms, including renewable energy production and the purchase of carbon credits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In summary, while domestic renewable energy production can effectively reduce the company&#8217;s overall carbon footprint and indirectly offset Scope 1 emissions, direct emission reduction should remain a top priority. If direct Scope 1 emissions cannot be reduced, domestic renewable energy production is certainly a step in the right direction toward sustainability.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6db2235 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6db2235\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How much electricity from photovoltaics would I have to produce annually to have a \"no emission\" of 25,000 tCO\u2082e?<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-95a842e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"95a842e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">To calculate how much electricity one would have to produce with a photovoltaic system to achieve a &#8220;missed emission&#8221; of 25,000 tCO\u2082e, we need to consider two key factors:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><b>The emission factor of the power grid you are avoiding<\/b>.
