Slide 4
Task 38 Objectives – scientific
Develop, compare and make available models for assessing GHG balances
Assess the life cycle GHG balance of bioenergy and C sequestration systems
Analyze the country and regional potential of bioenergy, afforestation and other biomass based
mitigation strategies
Identify and analyze synergies between afforestation and other land based activities for carbon
sequestration and enhanced bioenergy use
Slide 5
Task 38 Objectives – implementation
Aid decision makers in selecting mitigation strategies
that optimize GHG benefits
Assist in the implementation of LULUCF articles of the Kyoto Protocol
Contribute to work of the IPCC/OECD/IEA related to GHG inventories
involving carbon sequestration, wood products, or bioenergy
Contribute to the development of international standards for GHG accounting and
verification in LULUCF sectors
Slide 6
Task 38
Systems-analytical assessment of GHG (CO2, CH4, N2O) balances, flows, stocks, emissions in biomass production, biomass conversion and carbon sequestration systems.
Carbon pools include: above and below-ground biomass, litter and woody debris, soils, wood products, fossil fuel reservoirs.
Work Scope 1/2
Slide 7
Task 38
Investigation of trade-offs within and among these systems
Analysis on short-term vs. long-term mitigation effects, considering the time value of carbon
Cost / benefit analysis of GHG mitigation through biotic options
Involvement of industrial participants with a view on implementing biomass-based GHG mitigation projects
Work Scope 2/2
