Evaluating carbon sinks, carbon offsets, and sales potential Carbon credits from the forest sector and green areas in the area of the Chiang Mai University Education Center “Hariphunchai”, Lamphun Province.

1. Principles and reasons (in summary):

Chiang Mai University has guidelines for driving the Chiang Mai University Educational Development Plan, Phase 13 (2023-2027), with the goal of being an organization Carbon neutral in 2070, aiming for net zero greenhouse gas emissions in 2075 according to Agenda 2, with KP5.6 Carbon Offset & Sinks needing an offset source. and carbon storage Providing carbon credits for offsets to organizations. Therefore, this project focuses on quantifying carbon and developing tools and methodologies for Carbon assessment

2. Objective :

2.1 To assess the amount of carbon that can be stored in the area. Education Chiang Mai University “Hariphunchai” Province
Lamphun and compensation for Chiang Mai University

2.2 To be a model pilot agency for technology integration. To assess and monitor greenhouse gases in the forest sector, green areas and Automated agriculture (near real-time GHGs)

3. Target group:

Chiang Mai University, TGO, GISTDA, ThaiFlux, AsiaFluxnetwork

4. Target area:

Chiang Mai University Education Center “Hariphunchai”, Lamphun Province

5. Operation steps:

Year 1: Prepare the study area to apply for registration. Carbon Credit Project

Year 2: Check the usability of the project as a source Carbon storage

Year 3: Verify the project for carbon credit certification. Ready to compensate carbon for CMU, including getting the process New carbon assessment

6. Implementation period: 2023-2026

7. OUTPUT :

The amount of carbon expected to be stored from the project is approximately 8,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year.

8. OUTCOME :

got tracking station The amount of greenhouse gases near real-time1 station and is expected to support the Carbon Neutral University mechanism from the sink sector approximately 13% (from CMU’s GHGs emissions).
