The additional benefits, or co-benefits, may be measured on a project by project basis as part of a formal protocol development process. Co-benefits (or secondary ecological benefits) are not currently considered in this credit class but a formal co-benefit measurement system is under development to be retrospectively added when complete, to allow for a credit that accounts for more than just carbon.
The primary indicator defined in this credit class is soil organic carbon. The units ofthis credit are: one crediting unit equals 1 metric ton of CO2e sequestered.
