Carbon Credits
To achieve a goal of creating 200,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e) through various strategies—solar energy systems, biochar production, diesel/gas offset from local food production, and solar water pumps—here’s a strategic plan:
1. Solar Energy Systems (Carbon Offsets from Renewable Energy)
- Objective: Deploy agrisolar systems on smallholder farms to produce renewable energy that replaces fossil fuel-generated electricity.
- Estimation: Each 1 MW of solar energy can generate approximately 1,500 – 1,600 MWh per year, which typically offsets around 1,100 to 1,200 metric tons of CO2 per year.
- Action Plan:
- Install 100 MW of solar energy systems across your network of farms.
- Timeline: Install over 1-2 years depending on scalability and investment.
- Carbon Offset Contribution: ~110,000 to 120,000 MtCO2e annually.
2. Biochar Production
- Objective: Implement biochar systems to capture carbon and enhance soil quality while reducing methane emissions from rice paddies.
- Estimation: Biochar can sequester around 1-3 MtCO2e per ton of biochar produced. With 100 biochar production units, each producing 1,000 tons of biochar per year, you can offset approximately 100,000 – 300,000 MtCO2e annually.
- Action Plan:
- Install biochar production units alongside your solar farms.
- Develop contracts with local farms to provide biomass waste for biochar production.
- Timeline: Ramp up to full production within 12-24 months.
- Carbon Offset Contribution: Target 50,000 MtCO2e from initial production.
3. Diesel/Gas Offset from Local Food Production
- Objective: Reduce emissions by localizing food production, which decreases reliance on fossil fuel-based transportation.
- Estimation: Local food systems can reduce up to 0.5-1 MtCO2e per ton of food produced. The average farm may reduce around 500-1,000 MtCO2e annually.
- Action Plan:
- Implement precision farming and vertical agrisolar farming on 200 farms.
- Use the energy from solar farms to power on-site refrigeration, processing, and transportation, reducing diesel use.
- Carbon Offset Contribution: ~20,000 MtCO2e from localized production across all farms.
4. Solar Water Pumps (Offset from Fossil Fuels)
- Objective: Replace diesel-powered water pumps with solar-powered alternatives.
- Estimation: Each solar water pump can reduce emissions by approximately 3-4 MtCO2e annually compared to a diesel pump.
- Action Plan:
- Install 1,000 solar water pumps across smallholder farms.
- Carbon Offset Contribution: 3,000 – 4,000 MtCO2e annually.
Total Annual Carbon Offset Potential:
- Solar Energy Systems: 110,000 – 120,000 MtCO2e
- Biochar Production: 50,000 MtCO2e
- Local Food Production Diesel Offset: 20,000 MtCO2e
- Solar Water Pumps: 3,000 – 4,000 MtCO2e
Estimated Total: 183,000 – 194,000 MtCO2e annually.
Next Steps:
- Scale Investment: Attract investment for rapid deployment of solar energy and biochar systems.
- Partnerships: Establish partnerships with local governments, NGOs, and carbon markets to monetize carbon offsets.
- Monitoring and Reporting: Set up a transparent system to track carbon offset generation using blockchain to certify carbon credits.
