Just Biofiber Structural Solutions, Corp. (“JBF”) was founded in 2014 with a vision to bring a sustainable building system to market that would improve quality of living, with lower cost, without waste and easy to construct. JBF has created a patented building system based on structural blocks that outperform virtually all existing and alternative building systems. Now with a backlog of over two years production and global demand – JBF is ready to take the international stage.
For more than a decade, the potential to earn revenue from climate-saving activities in agriculture has been touted throughout farm-related industries. This presentation will assume a basic knowledge of the concept of carbon markets as a kind of ecosystem service market. The focus will instead be put on current market opportunities and the importance of learning from past mistakes. Included in the discussion will be carbon offset opportunities for methane capture from manure digesters and composting and nitrous oxide reduction from controls on nitrogen fertilization. Participants will learn about voluntary and compliance market opportunities and the value of offsets versus transactions costs in today’s markets. Sources of market information will also be discussed.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

8. What Are Forests Carbon Offsets?
• Trees sequester carbon – about 50% of dry weight is carbon
• Companies (and others) pay forest landowners to capture that
carbon, then make claims regarding offsetting emissions
Money $$$
Offsets
9.
10. Forest Carbon Markets
Compliance Market
• Companies purchase offsets to
help meet their legally
mandated emissions targets
• California, EU
• More consistent pricing
• Built in demand through 2030
• Unless regulatory changes occur
• 100 years
Voluntary Market
• Companies (or individuals)
voluntarily choose to purchase
offsets to reduce net emissions
• Greater variation in price
• Premium value attributed to
“charismatic” projects
• Uncertain demand
• 40 Years
11. Compliance Market Mechanics
• The landowner receives a large
credit issuance after the
project’s first year equal to the
distance between the property’s
stocking and the average
stocking within that same forest
type / ecoregion
• After Y1, the landowner receives
credits equal to the growth net
of harvest.
• If a landowner harvests 100% of
growth, there are no new credits
100
12. Voluntary Market Mechanics
• Under voluntary market protocols, the
landowner receives credits equal to
the difference between their stocking,
and the stocking that would exist
under short-term profit maximization
• “Short-term profit maximization” is
generally liquidation of merchantable
volume, subject to state law
• Bulk of credits are issued in the first
several years
• After that, the landowner receives
credits equal to the growth net of
harvest.
• If a landowner harvests 100% of growth,
there are no new credits
13. What Makes A “Good” Carbon Project?
• Specific to Voluntary and Compliance Markets
• Need ~5k acres (region specific) to make it work financially
• Plan (and practice) to harvest less than growth for the long-term
• Sustainable forest management (incl. 3rd party certification – FSC/SFI/ATFS)
• No expectation of a sale of land
• Have seen carbon used as a form of estate planning
• You can sell land with a carbon encumbrance, but will certainly impact the
sale price
• Suppressed timber markets / mill closures
• Compatible with easements
14. There are Other Markets (and More Coming…)
• Family Forest Carbon Program (AFF and TNC)
• NCX (formerly SilviaTerra)
• Many states pursuing their own markets (or market
bundling)
• Federal efforts – with a focus on smaller forest and
farm landowners
• This will be a rapidly and wildly evolving space
15. Securing Northeast Forest Carbon Program
• New England and New York
• Provide state outreach foresters
and private sector foresters and
landowners with the latest
information about opportunities
for forest carbon markets and
carbon friendly forest practices
• Focused on family forest owners
• Newsletter coming soon – email
levesque@inrsllc.com
16. It’s Not Just Forests….
• European Markets Rewarding Mass Timber and Biochar
• U.S. projects potentially eligible
• I am involved in a project where the largest revenue source is
carbon credits, not the finished product
• Possibility that lumber and panel products, perhaps even long-
lived paper, receive similar treatment
• Might be a carrot (incentives) or a stick (tax on competing
products), but expect carbon to be a factor in many purchasing
decisions
• If / when this occurs, it will impact our transportation costs (as
well as everyone else’s)
17. Implications for the Forest Industry…
• New revenue opportunities for landowners
• May constrain supply for some products
• Loggers impacted by change in harvesting
• If we are deferring harvests and growing more big sawlogs, what does that
mean for wood flow? For pulpwood and other small diameter?
• What does this mean for investment in manufacturing?
• If carbon offset prices rise, how does the equation change?
• #forestproud recently shared an article predicting a 10x increase in the price
of carbon
18. Evaluating Opportunities
• INRS helps landowners consider whether a carbon project
is right for their situation
• Also help industries evaluate what impact might be on them –
both opportunities and challenges
• We have a non-exclusive relationship with carbon project
developer Blue Source, but have worked with a number of
programs and developers
• This isn’t a good fit for many landowners right now, but
markets are constantly changing and evolving (and will for
a while)
