Fyrsta áfanga verkefnisins okkar í Hömrum var lokið með góðum árangri, þar sem tæplega 40.000 plöntur voru gróðursettar sumarið 2024. Mikil áhersla hefur verið lögð á faglega nálgun og samvinnu við sérfræðinga til að tryggja að ræktunin taki mið af aðstæðum á svæðinu og styðji við náttúruvernd og kolefnisbindingu.

Seint vor og krefjandi veðurskilyrði settu þó strik í reikninginn og drógu aðeins úr hraða framkvæmdanna. Þrátt fyrir það tókst að ljúka hluta gróðursetningarinnar, og erum við spennt að ljúka verkinu sumarið 2025, þegar eftirstandandi plöntur verða settar niður.

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

Afforestation and reforestation

In the summer of 2024, work began on an approximately 55-hectare afforestation project on the property Hamrar, located in Dalabyggð.
The plan is to plant over 135,000 trees, including birch, larch, pine, and spruce.
Just under 40,000 trees have been planted so far.
Planting is expected to be completed in the summer of 2025/2026
