EX-ACTE Carbon Balance Tool
The Ex-Ante Carbon-balance Tool (EX-ACT) is an appraisal system developed by FAO providing ex-ante estimates of the impact of agriculture and forestry development projects, programmes and policies on the carbon-balance. The carbon-balance is defined as the net balance from all greenhouse gases (GHGs) (expressed in carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalents) that are emitted or sequestered due to project implementation as compared to a business-as-usual scenario. EX-ACT is a land-based accounting system that estimates carbon (C) stock changes (i.e. emissions or sinks of CO2) and GHG emissions per unit of land, expressed in equivalent tonnes of CO2 per hectare and year. The tool helps project designers to estimate and prioritize project activities with high benefits in economic and climate change mitigation terms. The amount of GHG mitigation can also be used as part of an economic analysis to facilitate funding applications for additional project components.
