To determine the amount of carbon credits generated from burning one metric ton (MT) of biomass briquettes, you need to calculate the amount of carbon dioxide emissions avoided by substituting biomass briquettes for fossil fuels. Here’s how you can estimate it:

1. *Determine emissions avoided per ton of biomass briquettes*: The emissions avoided per ton of biomass briquettes depend on various factors such as the carbon content of the biomass, combustion efficiency, and the type of fossil fuel being displaced. On average, burning one metric ton of biomass briquettes can avoid approximately 1.9 to 2.3 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

2. *Convert emissions avoided to carbon credits*: Carbon credits are typically measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). To convert the emissions avoided to carbon credits, multiply the emissions avoided per ton of biomass briquettes by a conversion factor of 1 ton of CO2 = 1 carbon credit.

For example, if burning one metric ton of biomass briquettes avoids 2 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, then you would generate approximately 2 carbon credits per metric ton of biomass briquettes burned.

It’s important to note that the actual amount of carbon credits generated may vary based on factors such as the specific carbon content of the biomass, combustion efficiency, and emission factors used for fossil fuels. Additionally, carbon credit calculations may need to consider other factors such as baseline emissions, additionality, and leakage, depending on the requirements of specific certification standards or regulatory frameworks. For accurate and reliable carbon credit calculations, it’s advisable to consult with carbon accounting experts or use approved methodologies and tools recognized by certification standards such as the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) or the Gold Standard.
