New Publication: Zero-Threshold Carbon Accounting and Offset Uncertainty Across Five Widely Used Carbon Protocols

Zero-Threshold Carbon Accounting Across Five Carbon Protocols (See publication for details)

Protocol exclusion of forest and soil carbon emissions to the atmosphere triggers over-crediting and an inferred annual error of ~256% creating a carbon bubble.

— it is time to reset the carbon offset validation process, aligning green policy with science and commerce worldwide.”

— Bruno D.V. Marino

CAMBRIDGE, MA, UNITED STATES, February 7, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The problems with carbon offsets are widely acknowledged, but explanations and solutions are lacking. A new publication characterizes, for the first time, zero-threshold carbon accounting across five widely used carbon offset protocols that exclude forest and soil carbon emissions to the atmosphere in the calculation of net carbon. This unavoidably triggers over-crediting and an inferred annual median error of ~256%, skewing carbon results. The finding is explained in a publication prepared by Planetary Emissions Management Inc. (PEM), Cambridge, Mass., and can be accessed here.

“The international dialog around the problems with carbon offsets has raised awareness of the issues but lacks the explanatory link shared across protocols, that is, exclusion of embedded CO2 efflux, or debits, in reporting the net carbon offset balance,” remarked PEM CEO, Bruno D.V. Marino. “Forests and soils take up and release CO2 — without measurement of both natural processes, net carbon products may not be reliably determined for commerce — it is time to reset the carbon offset validation process, aligning green policy with science and commerce worldwide."

The protocols analyzed included publicly available data for the American Carbon Registry
