26th - 28th April, Beijing
Monitoring CO2 reductions and otherparameters of an A/R project
Algorithm and/or formula defined by the baseline methodology
“series of elements or interrelated components that collect (input), manipulate and store (process), disseminate (output).” (STAIR, 1998)

CDM Glossary
• Monitoring of an A/R CDM project activity (A/R - SSC A/R)
Monitoring refers to the collection and archiving of all relevant data necessary for estimating or measuring the net anthropogenic GHG removals by sinks during the crediting period.
CDM A/R Investors' and Developers' Workshop, Beijing 2010
• Monitoring plan
Monitoring Plan shall include description of the proposed statistically sound sampling method/procedure to be used by DOEs for verification of the amount of reductions of anthropogenic emissions by sources or removals by sinks of greenhouse gases achieved by CPAs under the PoA.
CDM A/R Investors' and Developers' Workshop, Beijing 2010
The Marrakesh Accords Decision 17 – COP 7
Project participants shall include, as part of the project design document, a monitoring plan that provides for:
•The collection and archiving of all relevant data necessary for estimating or measuring anthropogenic emissions by sources of greenhouse gases occurring within the project boundary during the crediting period;
•The collection and archiving of all relevant data necessary for determining the baseline of anthropogenic emissions by sources of greenhouse gases within the project boundary during the crediting period;
•The identification of all potential sources of, and the collection and archiving of data on, increased anthropogenic emissions by sources of greenhouse gases outside the project boundary that are significant and reasonably attributable to the project activity during the crediting period;
•Quality assurance and control procedures for the monitoring process;
•Procedures for the periodic calculation of the reductions of anthropogenic emissions by sources by the proposed CDM project activity, and for leakage effects.

Based on its pioneer CDM projects, and
with the support of the World Bank’s
Prototype Carbon Fund, Plantar is about
to become the first company in the
Brazilian iron industry, to have its iron
production 100% based on solid biofuels,
i.e. renewable charcoal.
