1.2 Methods and procedures used for conducting carbon stock and GHG assessments
1.1.1 Methods and procedures High Carbon Stock Assessment
Stages of activity measurement and mapping carbon stocks in the concession
area of PT. AAN grouped into four stages, namely (i) a desk study, (ii) field
surveys, (iii) laboratory analysis and (iv) data analysis, mapping and reporting.
These stages are composed of a series of activities as presented in Figure 1

Figure 1. Stages of activity measurement and mapping carbon stocks in the concession
area of PT. AAN, 2016, Sekadau Distric, West Kalimantan.
1.1.2 Methods and procedures GHG assessment
Net GHG emissions are calculated by adding the emissions released during land
clearing, crop production and crop processing, and subtracting from these emissions
the sequestration of carbon in the standing crop and in any conservation areas. Stages
of activity measurement and mapping GHG assessment in the concession area of PT.
AAN as system boundary for the greenhouse gas calculation in Palm GHG. GHG
Calculation stages are divided into input, output agricultural.
This emission sources included in the calculator are :
i) Land clearing;
ii) Manufacture of fertilisers and transport to the plantation;
iii) Nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide resulting from the field application of
fertilisers and mill by-products and other organic sources such as palm
litter;
iv) Fossil fuel used in the field (mainly for harvesting and collection of FFB);
v) Fossil fuel used at the mill;
vi) Methane produced from palm oil mill effluent (POME); and
vii) Carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide generated by the cultivation of peat
soils.
6
In addition, the following GHG fixation and credits are considered:
i) Carbon dioxide fixed by oil palm trees, ground cover and carbon
sequestered in plantation litter (see crop sequestration, below);
ii) Carbon dioxide fixed by biomass in conservation areas;
iii) GHG emissions avoided by the selling of mill energy by-products (e.g.
electricity sold to the grid; palm kernel shell sold to industrial furnaces).

2.2 Land Cover Stratification
Implementation of high carbon stock assessment in the concession area of PT AAN using
methods that have been scientifically recognized and guidelines are based on international
standards (IPCC), the RSPO and national (SNI). Footage plot consists of 4 strata of vegetation,
namely HS (secondary forest), BT (old shrub), BM (young shrub), LT (Open Land) and BA
11
(water body). The amount of carbon in the scale of this plot into a parameter extrapolation
(Upscaling) to map the distribution of spare carbon on a scale concession area of PT AAN,
mainly sourced from biomass.
Extrapolation high carbon stocks for concession area of PT AAN use the resulting
equation of correlation between the value of the biomass AGB in each plot with the
data spectral radiance Band 6 derived from extrapolation data Landsat satellite 8. The
results are then converted into the value of the biomass carbon stock and its
distribution mapped. As a base mapping is the classification of biomass carbon stocks
are also to describe the condition of land cover. Classification of biomass carbon
stocks divides the study area of PT. AAN into five classes, namely:

5.4 The Measurement taken to maintain and enhance carbon stocks within the new development areas.
Several stages to high carbon stock assessment and ghg assessment can be used to prepare a
management plan carbon stock conservation area and HCV are integrated with management
oil plan plantation, as follow:
i. Establish an important area for reserve high carbon sourced from biomass equal to the
average value of carbon palm oil.
Results of previous studies show that the average value of carbon stocks of palm oil in one
cycle is 60 ton - C/ha . Within the area concession of PT AAN there is an area of 759.76 ha
of biomass carbon stocks that have > 60 ton - C / ha (Very High Carbon Stock 682.55 ha
and High Carbon Stock 77.21 ha).
ii. Integrating the carbon stock areas with HCV area
Locations that have been assessed as the areal Areal HCV in Permission location PT AAN
Mostly have a reserve of carbon > 60 ton - C / ha. The area of HCV in Areal High Carbon
Stock Assessment Report of PT Agro Andalan is 670.25 ha. These areas can be defined as
the area with high carbon stock , although the amount is less than the area which has
biomass carbon stocks > 60 ton - C / ha . Proper management and natural succession into
areas with higher vegetation cover would increase reserves carbon in the HCV area.
Figure 5. Map of the integrated HCV and HCS in concession PT. AAN

iii. Determination of baseline carbon stocks and GHG mitigation measure
Baseline carbon stocks in the concession area of PT AAN is required to assess the success
of mitigation efforts GHG (P & C 7.8 3.6 RSPO and ISPO). GHG mitigation efforts will be
successful if the value is negative net emissions. which means the amount of carbon stocks
is greater than the emissions.
The net GHG emission value is the value of a dynamic where the calculation process is
carried out a comparison between the amount of emissions from activities such as
aquaculture farm management (fertilization), Land management (drainage of peatlands).
Transportation, Carbon stocks themselves are also dynamic. Whose value can be increased
or decreased. The addition of carbon stocks was obtained from the results of
photosynthesis (biomass increase) of vegetation in accordance with the development and
growth of plants. Both from the area of cultivation and conservation area carbon. While
the reduction in carbon stocks can occur from land clearing activities (reduction of
biomass) and aerobic decomposition. Especially in peat and nekromass source.
In order to determine the success of mitigation of GHG emissions, the value of carbon
stocks can now be used as a baseline derived from AGB and nekromas. As a benchmark for
successful management is the increase in carbon stocks derived from biomass. For the
carbon stocks of nekromass can not be used as a benchmark, because the value of the
carbon stocks will be reduced in line with the process of decomposition.
iv. Management to maintain and increase carbon stocks
Efforts to maintain and increase the amount of carbon stocks is equal to the effort to increase
the total amount of biomass C. Some practical ways are as follows:
Increase the density of vegetation in areas that are not open palm planting area. For
example in residential areas in the garden, greening along the open road.
Increase the density of vegetation in areas that have been designated as HCV area
Implement best practice so that the plantation cultivation of oil palm growth and
development can take place with the maximum and high biomass yield per plant
organs.
Applying fertilizer application that can increase soil organic C content. For example
with the application of organic manure and compost.
Implementing rorak applications in the area of mineral soil or bumpy areas that can be
filled with litter or organic waste from oil palm plantations, thus increasing soil organic
C.
18
Preventing any form of fires in all types of strata / land cover.
Perform mitigation of illegal logging in the area of secondary forest, especially in the
area defined as high carbon stocks.
5.5 GHG Emissions Mitigation Plan of PT AAN
The mitigation plan are associated with oil palm cultivation & processing in the new
development of plantation and mill operation.
Land clearing for plantations will be prioritized in areas with low carbon stocks. The efforts
to minimize GHG emissions, the efficient use of fuel through the engine maintenance and
selection of technology which more efficient fuel usage, an accurate fertilizer
recommendations, maximize the use of biological agents for pest control, etc.
5.6 The Plan for monitoring the implementation of selected scenario for new
development including measures for enhancing carbon stock and minimising GHG
emissions
i. Monitoring and Evaluation of the conservation of carbon stocks (Monev)
In order to determine the successful management of carbon stocks and GHG mitigation , it
is necessary to the efforts of monitoring and periodic evaluation . Related to the results of
this study, the efforts of monitoring and evaluation can be carried out as follows :
Establishment of permanent plots vegetation analysis in the conservation area carbon
or HCV (areas with carbon stock values > 60 ton C / ha ) and in the areas planted with
oil palm. Number of permanent plots is proportional to the level and extent of land
cover
Perform analysis of vegetation in each of the permanent plots periodically ( eg, every
6-12 months ) to determine the value of biomass and its nekromassa .
Creating a recapitulation of the biomass is harvested when the plant oil palm has
produced
Perform estimation and calculation of carbon stock every year based on the results of
the above measurements .
Creating a carbon balance every year, so that can know the value of net GHG
emissions .
Evaluate any form of management based on the value of benchmarks and targets set (
total AGB )
