Carbon accounting

Carbon accounting

Carbon accounting is the accounting undertaken to measure the amount of carbon dioxide equivalents that will not be released into the atmosphere as a result of Flexible Mechanisms projects under the Kyoto Treaty. These projects thus include (but are not limited to) renewable energy projects and biomass, forage and tree plantations.
