1.2 Methods and procedures used for conducting carbon stock and GHG assessments

1.1.1 Methods and procedures High Carbon Stock Assessment

Stages of activity measurement and mapping carbon stocks in the concession

area of PT. KAP grouped into four stages, namely (i) a desk study, (ii) field

surveys, (iii) laboratory analysis and (iv) data analysis, mapping and reporting.

These stages are composed of a series of activities as presented in Figure 1

Figure 1. Stages of activity measurement and mapping carbon stocks in the concession

area of PT. KAP, 2016, Sintang Distric, West Kalimantan.

1.1.2 Methods and procedures GHG assessment

Net GHG emissions are calculated by adding the emissions released during land

clearing, crop production and crop processing, and subtracting from these emissions

the sequestration of carbon in the standing crop and in any conservation areas. Stages

of activity measurement and mapping GHG assessment in the concession area of PT.

KAP as system boundary for the greenhouse gas calculation in Palm GHG. GHG

Calculation stages are divided into input, output agricultural.

This emission sources included in the calculator are :

i) Land clearing;

ii) Manufacture of fertilisers and transport to the plantation;

iii) Nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide resulting from the field application of

fertilisers and mill by-products and other organic sources such as palm

litter;

iv) Fossil fuel used in the field (mainly for harvesting and collection of FFB);

v) Fossil fuel used at the mill;

vi) Methane produced from palm oil mill effluent (POME); and

vii) Carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide generated by the cultivation of peat

soils.

In addition, the following GHG fixation and credits are considered:

i) Carbon dioxide fixed by oil palm trees, ground cover and carbon

sequestered in plantation litter (see crop sequestration, below);

ii) Carbon dioxide fixed by biomass in conservation areas;

iii) GHG emissions avoided by the selling of mill energy by-products (e.g.

electricity sold to the grid; palm kernel shell sold to industrial furnaces).

2.2 Land Cover Stratification

Implementation of high carbon stock assessment in the concession area of PT KAP using

methods that have been scientifically recognized and guidelines are based on international

standards (IPCC), the RSPO and national (SNI). Footage plot consists of 4 strata of vegetation,

namely HS (secondary forest), BT (old shrub), BM (young shrub), LT (Open Land) and BA

(water body). The amount of carbon in the scale of this plot into a parameter extrapolation

(Upscaling) to map the distribution of spare carbon on a scale concession area of PT KAP,

mainly sourced from biomass.

Extrapolation high carbon stocks for concession area of PT KAP use the resulting

equation of correlation between the value of the biomass AGB in each plot with the

data spectral radiance Band 6 derived from extrapolation data Landsat satellite 8. The

results are then converted into the value of the biomass carbon stock and its

distribution mapped. As a base mapping is the classification of biomass carbon stocks

5.4 The Measurement taken to maintain and enhance carbon stocks within the new

development areas.

Several stages to high carbon stock assessment and ghg assessment can be used to prepare a

management plan carbon stock conservation area and HCV are integrated with management

oil plan plantation, as follow:

i. Establish an important area for reserve high carbon sourced from biomass equal to the

average value of carbon palm oil.

Results of previous studies show that the average value of carbon stocks of palm oil in one

cycle is 60 ton - C/ha . Within the area concession of PT KAP there is an area of 8,229.4 ha

of biomass carbon stocks that have > 60 ton - C / ha (Very High Carbon Stock 936.23 ha

and High Carbon Stock 498.90 ha).

ii. Integrating the carbon stock areas with HCV area

Locations that have been assessed as the areal Areal HCV in Permission location PT KAP

Mostly have a reserve of carbon > 60 ton - C / ha. The area of HCV in Areal High Carbon

Stock Assessment Report of PT Kencana Alam Permai is 282.83 ha. These areas can be

defined as the area with high carbon stock , although the amount is less than the area which

has biomass carbon stocks > 60 ton - C / ha . Proper management and natural succession

into areas with higher vegetation cover would increase reserves carbon in the HCV area.

Figure 5. Map of the integrated HCV and HCS in concession PT. KAP

iii. Determination of baseline carbon stocks and GHG mitigation measure

Baseline carbon stocks in the concession area of PT KAP is required to assess the success

of mitigation efforts GHG (P & C 7.8 3.6 RSPO and ISPO). GHG mitigation efforts will be

successful if the value is negative net emissions. which means the amount of carbon stocks

is greater than the emissions.

The net GHG emission value is the value of a dynamic where the calculation process is

carried out a comparison between the amount of emissions from activities such as

aquaculture farm management (fertilization), Land management (drainage of peatlands).

Transportation, Carbon stocks themselves are also dynamic. Whose value can be increased

or decreased. The addition of carbon stocks was obtained from the results of

photosynthesis (biomass increase) of vegetation in accordance with the development and

growth of plants. Both from the area of cultivation and conservation area carbon. While

the reduction in carbon stocks can occur from land clearing activities (reduction of

biomass) and aerobic decomposition. Especially in peat and nekromass source.

In order to determine the success of mitigation of GHG emissions, the value of carbon

stocks can now be used as a baseline derived from AGB and nekromas. As a benchmark for

successful management is the increase in carbon stocks derived from biomass. For the

carbon stocks of nekromass can not be used as a benchmark, because the value of the

carbon stocks will be reduced in line with the process of decomposition.

iv. Management to maintain and increase carbon stocks

Efforts to maintain and increase the amount of carbon stocks is equal to the effort to increase

the total amount of biomass C. Some practical ways are as follows:

Increase the density of vegetation in areas that are not open palm planting area. For

example in residential areas in the garden, greening along the open road.

Increase the density of vegetation in areas that have been designated as HCV area

Implement best practice so that the plantation cultivation of oil palm growth and

development can take place with the maximum and high biomass yield per plant

organs.

Applying fertilizer application that can increase soil organic C content. For example

with the application of organic manure and compost.

Implementing rorak applications in the area of mineral soil or bumpy areas that can be

filled with litter or organic waste from oil palm plantations, thus increasing soil organic

C.

18

Preventing any form of fires in all types of strata / land cover.

Perform mitigation of illegal logging in the area of secondary forest, especially in the

area defined as high carbon stocks.

5.5 GHG Emissions Mitigation Plan of PT KAP

The mitigation plan are associated with oil palm cultivation & processing in the new

development of plantation and mill operation.

Land clearing for plantations will be prioritized in areas with low carbon stocks. The efforts

to minimize GHG emissions, the efficient use of fuel through the engine maintenance and

selection of technology which more efficient fuel usage, an accurate fertilizer

recommendations, maximize the use of biological agents for pest control, etc.

5.6 The Plan for monitoring the implementation of selected scenario for new

development including measures for enhancing carbon stock and minimising GHG

emissions

i. Monitoring and Evaluation of the conservation of carbon stocks (Monev)

In order to determine the successful management of carbon stocks and GHG mitigation , it

is necessary to the efforts of monitoring and periodic evaluation . Related to the results of

this study, the efforts of monitoring and evaluation can be carried out as follows :

Establishment of permanent plots vegetation analysis in the conservation area carbon

or HCV (areas with carbon stock values > 60 ton C / ha ) and in the areas planted with

oil palm. Number of permanent plots is proportional to the level and extent of land

cover

Perform analysis of vegetation in each of the permanent plots periodically ( eg, every

6-12 months ) to determine the value of biomass and its nekromassa .

Creating a recapitulation of the biomass is harvested when the plant oil palm has

produced

Perform estimation and calculation of carbon stock every year based on the results of

the above measurements .

Creating a carbon balance every year, so that can know the value of net GHG

emissions .

Evaluate any form of management based on the value of benchmarks and targets set

(total AGB )
