Carbon Accounting - Science topic

Congratulations on completing your Bachelor of Environmental Economics! This is an important and demanding area, especially in the context of addressing climate change and sustainable development. If you are considering further education or a career, your knowledge of carbon footprint and sustainability can have a significant impact on your decision about which country or school to study in.

Consider the following when choosing a country or school for Environmental Economics and Carbon Footprint:

1. Top programs: Consider universities with strong reputations for environmental research and sustainability, such as Yale University (USA), London School of Economics (UK), Wageningen University (Netherlands).

2. Countries that focus on environmental studies: The Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Germany and Canada are active supporters of environmental initiatives and offer quality education programs in sustainable development.

3. Scholarships: Look for scholarships and grants for environmental research, especially in the EU and Scandinavia.

5. Practical experience: Look for programs that offer experience in environmental projects or international organizations. This approach will help you find a school or country that matches your interests in ecology and sustainable development.

I used EIO-LCA open access. Link is provided in my article. Recent link can be easily googled.

Visit kindly the following useful RG link:

Soil act both as source and sink of GHGs, it's the land use changes turn this balance either way. Soil have a potential of 2500 Gt CO2 sequestration. To know more about C sequestration in croplands refer Professor Ratan Lal's papers.

Please have a look at enclosed PDF..

AI on Accounting

Go to google scholar, Enter "climate change accounting, carbon accounting, environmental quality ", a huge number of studies can assess you.

Convey my thanks for such a relevant article that nicely elaborated of the carbon draining from the terrestrial forest floors arrested in the mangroves ecosystems and that is seen at a glance, I will go through the paper later on and use as citation in my work

Hanan Abdelhamid Ghareb Aiat I suggest looking at the references you cited in your paper and identify the journals publishing these papers. Two benefits here, it is an easy way to find out journals interested in the topic. Second, many journals will select one or more of these authors to review your paper. I think you have the answer.

Friend, for non destructive below ground biomass assessment, you may used IPCC Guidelines, where above ground biomass multiplied with a IPCC default factor of 0.25.

Hi Sathish the link that you have provided above is not accessible. It would be great if you could check same.

Hi Hannah,

The following page has a number of papers on disclosures..etc.

Hope this helps

Dear Mehdi

Nasa uses landsat maps to create CO2 maps, you can read more in this article

In this case study, counting carbon, you will be able to find more practical details on the process

Carbon sequestration is the removal of carbon, in the form of CO2 either directly from the atmosphere or at the conclusion of various kinds of emissions, combustion and industrial processes. Long-term storage of carbon in trees and plants is a type of sequestration commonly referred to as terrestrial sequestration. Trees, like other green plants, use photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into sugar, cellulose and other carbon-containing carbohydrates that they use for food and growth. Trees are unique in their ability to lock up large amounts of carbon in their wood, and continue to add carbon as they grow. The actual rate of carbon sequestration will vary with species, but in general, younger and faster growing trees have higher annual sequestration rates. The carbon holding capacity of a tree species is termed as carbon storage capacity. Considering that one half of the weight of dried wood is carbon, trees in a forest hold a lot of carbon. When the enormous amount of carbon stored in forest soils is added to the trees' carbon, it becomes obvious that forests are major carbon storage reservoirs. Trees have almost 350 million years' experience in sequestering carbon.

Dear Arshad

This is not clear that you are going to estimate biomass of some specific species or you are going to construct new allometric models. By the way, if you want to estimate carbon or biomass, you need to find allometric models for your species in similar ecological condition.  One easy way is using GLOBALLOMTREE model. The article that describes this model has been published in iforest journal. It includes more than 1000 models for a large variety of species.  If you find the model, you can simply put d or h of the trees into the model and estimate biomass or carbon for different tree components. 

But if are going to construct new models, you have to cut some tress based on diameter distribution, weight them, measure moisture content and carbon concentration. Then run a regression analysis to derive the models. The following book is a great help: 

A guide to using regression equations for estimating tree biomass, Picard et al, 2012.

Best regards, 

In the website of the Global CCS Institute http://www.globalccsinstitute.com/, there are a few reports covering carbon capture and storage financing and policy which include CO2 tax. I am not sure if the idea of global CO2 tax is discussed, but you might find interesting to take a look to the different cases of CO2 tax such as Australia, Norway and Canada.
