Carbon credit is what?
Carbon credit (carbon credit) is a certificate of exhaust emissions2 or other greenhouse gases converted to CO2. Inside, The seller is the ability to reduce or increase carbon absorption compared to the reference level. Each carbon credit corresponds to a ton of CO2 or the amount of greenhouse gas converted equivalent to CO2 has been prevented or removed. Quantity CO2 The newly planted trees can be absorbed compared to this scenario will be considered as an increase in carbon absorption compared to the reference level. Phần tăng này được bao nhiêu tấn thì quy đổi ra bao nhiêu “Tín chỉ Carbon”.

Why has carbon credits?
“Carbon credit” Originated from the Kyoto Protocol (Kyoto Protocol) year 1997, An international agreement to control and minimize the global greenhouse gas emissions. Whereby, Participants committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, At the same time, it is allowed to exchange carbon emissions with each other in the international market through carbon credits. Since, Global carbon market, Where companies or countries are more than the prescribed levels can buy credits from organizations, Projects or countries have lower emissions or carbon absorption as one of the ways to achieve waste reduction goals.
How to operate of carbon credits:
– High emission enterprises:
Doanh nghiệp có lượng phát thải vượt quá giới hạn được phép sẽ cần mua tín chỉ carbon từ thị trường để bù đắp lượng khí thải này.
– Project reduces emissions:
Businesses, Organizations or individuals invest in reducing emissions or eliminating greenhouses, For example, planting forests, Using renewable energy, sẽ nhận được tín chỉ carbon.
– Trading market:
Carbon credits can be traded in the market, giúp cân bằng lượng khí thải giữa các bên.

After recess, Representatives of experts studying forest carbon valuation methods of the Forestry and Ranger Department- Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment&MT has announced the "draft method of forest carbon valuation", Specifically two main methods: Cost method (Including direct costs and indirect costs ”and comparison method (Based on the reference parameters of the same type).

Following the seminar program, The participants actively participated in the discussion of the concept and "carbon credit"., debate about the suitability in Vietnam and criticize the methods of forest ratings in the country as well as the process of integration with the world.. Many questions about the Forestry and Ranger Department – Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment&MT, Dr. Pham Thu answered full, detail.
