So, new study addressed this issue "by examining C rotation ages that consider commercial timber and C values. A discrete-time optimal rotation age model is developed that uses data on C #fluxes stored in living & dead biomass as opposed to C as a function of timber growth."

"Carbon is allocated to several ecosystem and post-harvest product pools that decay over time at different rates. In addition, the timing of #CarbonFluxes is taken into account by weighting future carbon fluxes as less important than current ones."

2/5 The tree planting for ERGO Group AG was developed in partnership with #walk15.app, which has a user base of over 420,000 and growing.
3/5 A tree planting program has a multi-fold impact on the environment, which reduces the effects of climate change, sequesters carbon dioxide, provides biodiversity benefits, reduces soil erosion and improves water quality runoff.
Why offset with Earthbanc?
Many carbon offsets have been proven to be inaccurate, by up to 50% or in some cases 100% which means not all carbon offset and credit products should be considered equivalent. 🧵 (1/5)

Earthbanc is the first climate fintech company to partner with the European Space Agency to use Satellite and Remote Sensing AI to measure the actual amount of carbon in offsets projects such as forests, agriculture, solar, wind and efficient cookstoves. (2/5)
We developed the technology so that you can buy carbon offsets with confidence in the accuracy and precision of the carbon being claimed in the offset. (3/5)

The global carbon market is booming, it’s expected to reach $22 trillion by 2050.
So where did it all start?

In 1987, Applied Energy Services (@TheAESCorp) planned on building a ~180 MW coal-fired power plant in Connecticut.
The #coal plant would produce ~14 million tons of CO2 emissions over its lifetime.
Global warming was already making some waves & AES was concerned

AES' CEO was former missionary & @HarvardAlumni - Roger Sant @santroger
Rogers’ "least-cost energy" strategy was revolutionary at the time.
@TheAESCorp's focus was minimizing the cost AND #environmental impact of #energy services.
So they needed a “green” solution

Let's start w/ the ruling class imperative to rebrand #capitalism (Oct, 23, 2020) - in order to save it.

We can keep flying if we just offset the emissions, right? 💸➡️🌳
No, because so-called carbon offsets pose many problems and in most cases do not compensate emissions - on the contrary. #CarbonOffset #ClimateJustice
Let us explain. Thread. ⬇️

What are offsets?
#Offsets are projects meant to reduce emissions that occur elsewhere. #Offsetting projects are mostly located in countries of the Global South. Many of them are hydroelectric projects, claiming to prevent production of energy from fossil fuels.

Also forest conservation projects, operators of tree plantations, or organisations that distribute climate-friendly cooking stoves to women in rural parts can sell offset credits.
