Gróðursetningu lauk á Davíðsstöðum nú fyrir stuttu. Verkefnið gekk mjög vel og það verður spennandi að fylgjast með þessum trjám stækka og binda kolefni í framtíðinni.

Baseline additionality. Compared to the baseline scenario the project needs to mitigate climate change. That is the project must implement actions that are additional to what would occur compared to the baseline.

Level 1 additionality

Statutory additionality. The project must implement actions that are beyond requirements stipulated in local legislation or regulations. Projects are statutory additional if their implementation and/or operation is not required by any law, statute, or other regulatory framework, agreements, settlements, or other legally binding mandates requiring implementation and operation or requiring implementation of similar measures that would result in the same mitigations in the host country.

Level 2a additionality

Financial additionality II. The project is financially additional if it faces significant financial limitations that revenues from the sale of carbon credits mitigates or are revenues due to the sale of carbon credits are the only source of revenues. When carbon credit revenues are a precondition for the implementation of the project and/or carbon credit revenues are essential in maintaining the project operations and ongoing financial viability post-implementation, then they are considered to be financial additional II.

Level 4b additionality

The Forest Carbon Code operates as a reliable framework for quantifying and managing greenhouse gas emissions linked to forest-related activities, enabling the registration of climate projects and the issuance of credible carbon credits.

Afforestation and reforestation

Á Davíðsstöðum er áætlað að fara í skógræktarverkefni til kolefnisbindingar og vottaðra kolefniseininga. Þær tegundir sem stefnt er að því að gróðursetja eru ösp, fura og lerki og verður það gert sumar og haust 2023. Nánari upplýsingar um verkefnið er hægt að nálgast á heimasíðu Yggdrasil Carbon: https://www.yggcarbon.is/verkefni/davidsstadir/
