Unlocking the Value of Forest Carbon
Forestry Australia would like to invite you to our upcoming webinar: Unlocking the Value of Forest Carbon.
Join us as we examine the benefits and complexities of valuing forest carbon. In this webinar we will explore the opportunities and risks associated with integrating trees into farm enterprises, including the extent to which tree planting can reduce net farm emissions in high productivity systems. This webinar will also unpack carbon markets intricacies, with a focus on how to design projects to maximise their value through the sale of carbon credit units. Finally, forest carbon values beyond the credit market will be considered alongside regulatory and emissions reporting demands, and their implications for forest managers.
Date: Thursday 14 March
Time: 11:30am – 1:00pm (AEDT)
RFP CPD points: 1.5
The carbon and productivity co-benefits of integrating trees into farming systems
Rachelle Meyer - University of Melbourne
This presentation will summarise the findings of the Trees on Farm: Maximising Co-benefits project focusing on results from three case study farms. The results provide a better understanding of the benefits and risks associated with integrating trees into farm enterprises, including the extent to which tree planting can reduce net farm emissions in high productivity systems (14-18 DSE/ha) of Victoria. Farmers can customise tree planting configurations based on their objectives, with return on investment influenced by factors like frequency and severity of extreme conditions, effectiveness of shelter, quality of pasture replaced, potential revenue from the planting, and carbon auditing costs.
Participating in carbon markets: understanding the value of your carbon
John Lawson- Midway
This presentation will explain the current market landscape for monetising carbon sequestered in forests. “Green” or sequestered carbon is often traded at a premium, including under the ACCU Scheme. Foresters and landholders should understand why this carbon is desirable and how to design projects and sell the resultant units to maximise their value.
Beyond Carbon Credits: The Value of Forest Carbon
Geoff Roberts- FLINTpro
This presentation will focus on the forest carbon values that are beyond the carbon credit market. As voluntary and regulatory demands for emissions reporting grow, it’s becoming increasingly important for those in with forests to quantify the carbon stock and impacts of management on this stock. This session will touch on the expanding landscape of carbon disclosure regulations, and some of the implications for forest managers.
