  1. Building Market Access Tools: Practices and Quantification Review Karen Haugen-Kozyra, M.Sc. P.Ag. Principal, KHK Consulting June 17, 2010 Agriculture and Carbon Markets: Making Carbon Count Washington, DC

  2. GHG Quantification - Complex 2 | KHK Consulting | Making Your Carbon Count

  3. GHG Calculators • GHG Measurement Techniques: • field-based msmts, • empirical and biogeochemical models • Linear models – IPCC equations • Life Cycle Assessments • Carbon Footprinting • GHG Methodologies • GHG Performance standards Many Types of Ag Quant’n Tools 3 | KHK Consulting | Making Your Carbon Count

  4. The Tool for What Job…different purposes

  5. M-AGG Phase 1 Objectives Activities and Deliverables

  6. Build on recognition of agriculture sector’s role in climate change mitigation • Summarize current state of quantification tools for agriculture GHG practices and assess which ones are ‘protocol or market • Serves as a repository of valuable quantification information; sets the basis for future development of market infrastructure further analysis in Phase 2 M-AGG Phase 1 Objectives

  7. Research - available quantification tools and identify the agricultural activities and practices, and emission reduction pathways offered by each; • Classify - the tools into general typologies, as well as the activities/practices to facilitate characterization; • Characterize – against 3 general pillars, each with their own set of criteria: • Scope and framework of the tool • Scientific basis and general approach • Development process and inputs; and, • Filter - the tools through a ‘Protocol Filter’ or set of criteria common to market access mechanisms worldwide. Activities

  8. Detailed Matrix that catalogues the classes of tools • Tools Benchmarked against a set of characterization criteria • Sub-set of tools that are classified as ‘protocol ready’ and fit common market access criteria • Subset move on to Phase 2 of the Study Deliverables

  9. Typology 9 | KHK Consulting | Making Your Carbon Count

  10. Agricultural Activity: • Soil Management • Crop Management • Nitrogen Management • Land Use Management • Livestock Management • Residues/Waste Management • Farm Energy Management • GHG Coverage: • Ideally all 3 GHGs • Nitrous Oxide (N2O), Methane (CH4) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) General Description 10 | KHK Consulting | Making Your Carbon Count

  11. Scope and Framework Criteria: • Tool – Purpose, Sub-sector, Scope, Approach • Scientific Approach Criteria: • Science Approach, Basis, Validation, Adaptability • Development Process Criteria: • Overall Tool Approach • Stakeholder Input/ Review • Independence Review/ Vetting • Government or Program Authority • Captured in Information Sheets Benchmarking Process 11 | KHK Consulting | Making Your Carbon Count

  12. Calculators/Decision Support Tools • LCA/Carbon Footprint Tools Cool Farm Tool (Unilever; Uaberdeen) Holos (Canada) COMET VR/Farm (U.S.) Carbon Trust/Carbon Label (UK) DNDC Nugget (U.S.) Beef (UK, US, CA, AU) Wheat (AU, UK) Dairy (Global, US, UK) Poultry, Eggs (US, UK) Pork (CA) 42 Tools

  13. Measurement Techniques Protocols - CCX NASA-CASA (Stanford U) Century/DayCent DNDC RGGI Manure/Afforesation EPIC/APEX Miller etal N20 in Corn Keystone Field to Market Forestry Carbon Agricultural Methane Tillage and Grassland Rangeland Soil Carbon 42 Tools

  14. Voluntary Carbon Standard • Clean Development Mechanism Afforestation/ Reforestation Sustainable Agriculture Land Mgmt Manure Management Offset Fertilizer with Legumes 42 Tools

  15. Alberta Offset System Days on Feed for Beef Dairy Operations Edible Oils for Beef Pork Feed and Manure Management Beef Lifecycle Biogas Tillage Management Nitrogen Emission Reduction* Energy Efficiency 42 Tools

  16. Market Access Filter 16 | KHK Consulting | Making Your Carbon Count

  17. Results – Subset for Phase 2 17 | KHK Consulting | Making Your Carbon Count

  18. Quantification Tool Review – research exercise to get a central repository of info for people to draw from • Phase 1 Report – www.sustainablefoodlab.org • Seeking input on criteria, review results, documentation • Revise documentation to incorporate stakeholder views • Further stakeholder engagement • Build a good repository – resource for all; will likely move to C-AGG for future grooming/revisions Next Steps
