T/ZGCERIS 0007-2019 Technical Specifications for Accounting of Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction in Dryland Farmland Optimized Fertilization Projects

Scope

Scope: This standard specifies the normative reference documents, terms and definitions, accounting processes, baseline identification, accounting methods, monitoring and data quality requirements for greenhouse gas emission reduction projects in dryland farmlands through optimized fertilization techniques. This standard applies to the accounting of greenhouse gas emissions reduction resulting from the implementation of optimized fertilization technologies in dryland farmlands. It is primarily applicable to dryland farmlands, with a baseline scenario of local farmers' conventional fertilization management measures; the project activities must be implemented for at least 5 years, with 5 years of crop yield and fertilizer application records; and the implementation of the project activities must not lead to a decrease in yield (within 5% of the baseline level). Main technical content: Based on the current national requirements for greenhouse gas emission accounting and reporting, this standard specifies the normative reference documents, terms and definitions, accounting processes, baseline identification, accounting methods, monitoring and data quality requirements for greenhouse gas emission reduction projects in dryland farmlands through optimized fertilization techniques. This standard is primarily applicable to dryland farmlands, with a baseline scenario of local farmers' conventional fertilization management measures; the project activities must be implemented for at least 5 years, with 5 years of crop yield and fertilizer application records; and the implementation of the project activities must not lead to a decrease in yield (within 5% of the baseline level). The greenhouse gas emissions in this standard include energy consumption emissions during fertilizer production, direct emissions from fertilizer-applied farmlands, and energy consumption emissions from machinery used in fertilizer-applied farmlands. It clearly outlines the greenhouse gas emission sour
