  1. BLACK IS THE NEW GREEN Serendipitous Carbon

  2. Arable to permanent pasture 4 tonnes CO2/ha/year

  3. Drained forest to wetlands 8 tonnes CO2/ha/year

  4. Conversion to Continuous Cover Forestry 4 tonnes CO2/ha/year

  5. Other measures Wetlands 12 t CO2/ha/yr Beetle banks 0,1t /km/yr New hedges 7 t /km/yr Solitary trees 0,1t /tree/yr

  6. Aggregated sequestration potential at Barritskov: 320 hectares arable 370 hectares forest 3340 tonnes of CO2 per year

  7. Quality Assurance • Additionality • Baseline • Quantification • Permanence • Ownership • Verification • Paper trail

  8. CONCLUSIONS • Organic farming has vast sequestration to offer • Important exercise for all farms and companies • An immense opportunity for us all…… • More research is needed

  9. The 3 Key GreenCarbon Claims: More than 1/3 of the increase in atmospheric CO2 comes from Land Use Changes and Forestry If we increased the carbon stock in the terrestrial biosphere by a mere 12 % we would be back at pre-industrial CO2-levels in the atmosphere Terrestrial ecosystems er DNA-coded towards Carbon sequestration

  10. Doesn’t it take forever ? + 4 tons CO2e/ha/år = + 80 tons efter 20 år = + 400 tons efter 1

  11. Stock of CO2e 2007: 330.000 t = 500 t/ha 2107: 700.000 t =1000t/ha Revisiting the past… 1007: ?? t… måske 1 mio t

  12. CONCLUSIONS • Organic farming has vast sequestration to offer • Important exercise for all farms and companies • An immense opportunity for us all…… • More research is needed
