Emission sources (Subdivision 4.2.3)

Abatement (Part 4)
Select one project type per CEA.
Identify the project area, ensure
that it is located on eligible land
and divide the area into one or
more carbon estimation areas.
Nominate one or more project management activities for
each CEA as appropriate.
A ‘project type’ is a broad category of
management undertaken on a CEA
that involves one or more ‘project
management activities’.
Account for relevant project-related emissions
arising from other sources, such as livestock,
irrigation energy use, synthetic fertiliser, lime
or residues.
Calculate baseline emissions using the
appropriate approach given the project
type, project management activity or
activities and the land use of the CEA.
Calculate net abatement (project
sequestration less change in project
emissions) as summarised at
Subdivision 4.2.1 and in accordance
with the provisions of part 4.
For sustainable intensification projects, proponents must
implement any two of the relevant activities.
Each project management activity generates a defined
amount of sequestration amount. Note - Sequestration
values are provided in tCO2-e / ha/ y.
