Relevant departments of the State Council. Carbon sequestration project afforestation should focus on the construction of ecological public welfare forest. The regional arrangement of the project should give priority to important ecological locations and areas with fragile ecological environment, such as the source of major rivers, around important reservoirs, sandstorms in the west, old revolutionary areas, poverty-stricken areas and oil and coal mining areas. While accumulating carbon sinks as much as possible, we will promote local ecological restoration, local biodiversity protection and sustainable economic and social development through project implementation. Carbon sink projects should have a certain scale. In principle, the implementation scale of each project is not less than 5000 mu. The number and specific scale of projects each year should also be determined according to the amount of donations actually received by China Green Carbon Fund. Chapter III Project Establishment Procedures Article 10 Organize the announcement of next year's projects from June to July every year. The project is declared by the county. A county can only declare one project at a time.

Forestry carbon sink refers to participating in the trading of forestry resources through market-oriented means, thus generating additional economic value, including forest management carbon sink and afforestation carbon sink. Among them, forest management carbon sink is aimed at the existing forest, promoting tree growth and increasing carbon sink through forest management means. Afforestation carbon sequestration projects are jointly developed by the government, departments, enterprises and forest owners. The government mainly plays a leading and guiding role, the forestry and grass departments are responsible for organizing the project development, the project enterprises undertake the calculation, verification and listing of carbon sinks, and the forest owners are the beneficiaries. Greenhouse gas emitting enterprises in need implement carbon sink purchase.

How many acres of forest land can be used for carbon trading?

1. If it is new afforestation or reforestation, it is suggested that the minimum is above 1 10,000 mu, and the general requirement is above 1 10,000 mu, because the development cost is almost fixed and the forest is too small to make money.

2. If it is an existing forest land, the scale requirement is greater, and it is suggested that the minimum requirement is more than 50,000 mu.
