| Soil Organic Carbon Framework Methodology | 1.0 | 28.02.2020 |
The methodology focuses on reducing methane emissions from livestock from enteric fermentation by capturing them using in-situ devices. Typically, the system includes methane capture and conversion units, which will be worn by the livestock.
This document outlines the Impact Quantification Methodology Approval Process under the Gold Standard for the Global Goals (GS4GG)
The methodology presents requirements to quantify changes in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks through the adoption of improved agricultural practices. Activities can achieve avoidance of emissions as well as sequestration of carbon in the soil, both which result in increased SOC content.
This Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) Activity Module focuses on zero tillage/no-till practice, an agricultural technique for growing crops or pasture without mechanically disturbing the soil through tillage (including disturbance from non-turning tillage such as rippers and disc harrows).
