Commercial Rubber Plantation for Grassland Rehabilitation in Linkage to CDM in Mondolkiri Highland

1. Commercial Rubber Plantation for Grassland Rehabilitation in Linkage to CDM in Mondolkiri Highland Marubeni, KANSO, Oji Paper, Taisei Construction (Sep.2003)

2. 1. Rubber Plantation Project for Carbon Sink CDM • Location: Highland in Mondolkiri province near Sen Monorom. 400km East of Phnom Penh • Population: approximately 37,000 • Project period: 70 years • Rubber tree rotation: 35 years X 2 periods • Annual planting area: Total 7,600 ha - 1st year: 100 ha - 2nd year: 500 ha - 3rd~9th years: Every 1000 ha

3. Growth curve of aboveground biomass rubber trees: Vo = 0.1457t3 - 1.1615t2 + 3.6977t - 2.6483 (m3/ha.yr) • Growth of underground biomass rubber trees: Wu = Aboveground x 20% (t-dw/ha.yr) • Baseline vegetation: Grass + Shrub trees Biomass = 7.64 - 13.66 t-dw/ha Biomass increment = 0.003 - 0.099 t-dw/ha.yr • Fuel consumption of mechanical working Operation of heavy machine, vehicles, etc. Positive Negative 2. Calculation Conditions of Carbon Balance

4. 1. Baseline If the project would not be established, how the land and GHG would changed. 2. Carbon balance (Tree growth) - (Baseline) - (Fuel consumption) 3. Leakage Indirect influence outside of project boundary 4. Monitoring Baseline, carbon balance 3. Requirement of Carbon Sink CDM of Our Project

5. 4. Estimation of Carbon Balance by Biomass Measurement Natural vegetation involves grass and shrub trees Fig 1. Total Biomass Change of Rubber Plantation Fig 2. Total Biomass Change of Natural Vegetation as a Baseline Standard

6. 5. Estimation of Carbon Balance during the Project Period Fig 3. Total CO2 Change of Rubber Plantation (Baseline and Fuel consumption of mechanical working are deducted.)

7. 6. Advantages of Carbon Sink CDM of Our Project Rubber Plantation Project Cambodia Japan • Profit, tax • Job opportunity for local community • Development of local industries • Development of infrastructure • Profit • Carbon credit • Efficient land use • Soil conservation - Regional development - Sustainable development - Technical transfer

18. 9. Situation of the Project’s Progress and Future Schedule • Aug 31 to Sep 7, 2003 (1st Mission) • 1st seminar: Exchange of view on the project (34 participants) • Selection of the afforestation and the test afforestation candidate site • Interviews with the local government/stakeholders • Nov 17 to 23, 2003 (2nd Mission) • 2nd seminar: Exchange of view on the project (26 participants) • The meeting with the relevant Cambodia Governmental agencies • Interviews with the stakeholders • Biomass research • At the End of March 2004 • Submission of F/S report to Japanese Ministry of the Environment • By the End of the Year 2004 • Based on the prepared PDD, acquisition of the approval from both the Cambodia and Japan governments, and also register the project as a CDM project • Submission of PDD to the UN CDM committee • May 2005 • Start of the project
