The aim of this research was to determine whether a methodology could be developed for use by developers of potential carbon projects to quantify their baseline emissions, project emissions with activities to reduce hazardous fuels, and estimate the associated project carbon benefit.The overall goal of WESTCARB Phase II is to validate and demonstrate the region’s key carbon sequestration opportunities through pilot projects, methodology development, reporting, and market validation.
