A Satellite Based Carbon Budgeting Tool : C-FIX
State-of-the-art algorithms describe carbon uptake and release mechanisms of vegetation in relation to meteorological conditions and satellite based quantification of photosynthetically active radiation absorption efficiency (fPAR).
C-FIX is tool to create geo-referenced NPP (Net Primary Productivity of vegetation),which is the difference between uptake and release of CO2 by vegetation.
NPP-data layers can be used in durable development planning in afforestation programmes. C-FIX allows a build-up of yearly, geo-referenced datasets of NPP for specific areas of interest and for use in GIS and land management planning environments ... more
IPCC Greenhouse Gas Inventory Software for the Workbook
The software will help you prepare national inventories of greenhouse gases (GHG)
and is based on the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories.
It contains worksheets from the Greenhouse Gas Inventory Workbook (Workbook) and the reporting tables from the Reporting Instructions. more
BIOMITRE (Biomass based climate change
The aim of BIOMITRE is to develop a standard, user-friendly software tool that can be used to analyse GHG balances and Cost-effectiveness of different biomass energy technologies.... more
TimberCAM
a carbon accounting model that tracks the fate of carbon in wood products, from harvest to disposal. It was designed to facilitate the modelling of the effect on carbon storage of different forest harvesting scenarios for arange of different wood products.... more
HWP (Harvested Wood Products)
The model integrates basically the carbon stocks of harvested wood products) in use and in solid waste disposal sites of a given country.
The basic input flows of the model are the consumption rates of solid wood products (= Sawn wood + Wood based panels) and paper products (= Paper + Paperboard). These source data for different countries are browsed from the FAOSTAT forestry on-line data base.
More information on the model you find under "Instructions and Definitions" in the Excel spreadsheet. ... more
CAMFor (Carbon accounting model for forests)
It is a carbon accounting model for forests that is developed by the Australian Greenhouse Office (AGO). It has been created to perform carbon accounting both at stand (or project) level and at estate (or landscape) scale.
CAMFor finds much of its origin in the CO2 Fix model, described by Moran and Goldwick (1990).... more
GORCAM (Graz / Oak Ridge Carbon Accounting Model)
It is an Excel spreadsheet model that has been developed to calculate the net fluxes of carbon to and from the atmosphere associated with land use, land-use change, bioenergy and forestry projects. ... more
CO2FIX
CO2fix is a tool which quantifies the C stocks and fluxes in the forest (whole tree), soil organic matter compartment and the resulting wood products.
It was originally designed for even aged monospecies stands in the Netherlands (Mohren and Klein Goldewijk 1990a), but has also been used for a wide variety of (mostly even aged) forest types from all over the world, including some selective logging systems (Nabuurs and Mohren 1993).
The latter results have been used in the IPCC 1995 climate change assessment (Brown et al. 1996). ... more
GEMIS (Global Emission Model for Integrated Systems)
GEMIS is a computerized life-cycle analysis model, LCA database, and cost-emission analysis system.
It offers environmental and cost data for energy, material, and transport systems, including their life-cycles. The environmental data cover air emissions, greenhouse gases, liquid effluents, solid wastes, and land-use.
The cost data concern investment, fixed annual, and variable cost, as well as externality factors for air emissions, and GHG. ... more
