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. Many Types of Ag Quant’n Tools 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 3 | KHK Consulting | Making Your Carbon Count

4. The Tool for What Job…different purposes National Inventory/Msmt Techniques “What is” GHG Calculator “What if” Offset Protocols “What sells” Carbon Footprint (LCA) “What’s Green”

5. M-AGG Phase 1 Objectives Activities and Deliverables

6. M-AGG Phase 1 Objectives 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

7. Activities 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.

8. Deliverables 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

General Description 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 (N 2 O), Methane (CH 4 ) and Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ) 10 | KHK Consulting | Making Your Carbon Count

11. Benchmarking Process 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 11 | KHK Consulting | Making Your Carbon Count

18. Next Steps Quantification Tool Review – research exercise to get a central repository of info for people to draw from Phase 1 Report – www.sustainablefoodlab.orgwww.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
