Project description and proposed activities

The project areas are selected in southwest of the Taklamagan desert (Hetian, Kashgar, Kezlesukekirks and Akesu districts), where the main population are minorities (Uyger, Kurkez and Tajik) Taklamagan desert is China’s biggest desert and the biggest moving desert in the world. Due to the invasion by the desert and degradation of ecological environment, the livelihood condition of local farmers is very harsh, where counts 85% of the poor population of Xinjiang.

2

The emission reduction technology to be employed

Emission reductions from this project include three parts. Firstly, the reduction of CH4 emission based on animal manure management. Secondly, the reduction of CO2 emission based on less consumption of fossil fuels. Thirdly, the reduction of N2O emission based on biogas residue using instead of chemical fertilizers.

3

The estimated yearly GHGs emission reductions

10,500 (tonnes CO₂e/yr)

Reduced emissions from methane usage at annual rate of 10,500 MT CO2e, total 52,500 MT CO2e over 2006-2010 period. 

4

Duration of and Rights to Offsets

Emission offsets offered for sale are net carbon sequestrations by Tamarisk planting between January   2006   and December   2010   . Upon termination the contract for rental of carbon sequestration, rights to emission offsets generated by that sequestration revert to the seller.
