For our CRUs this currently is monitored for 20 years since its creation. The durability period is the period during which the CO2 represented by a CRU is expected to remain removed from the atmosphere or sequestered in the buffer pool. Stored or otherwise sequestered during the durability period. Removed from the atmosphere as a result of the biomass growth in agroforestry projects,Īdditional to any GHG reduction that would occur in the base of the projects No rights can be derived from this information.Įvery Acorn CRU represents one metric tonne CO2, which is intended to be: Guarantees 80-90% of the sale price flows directly back to the smallholder farmer Ĭontributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals 1, 2, 6, 8, 9, 13, 15, 17.Īs CRU prices fluctuate, we can only provide an indication of our recent transaction price of €31 (updated 1-12-2022). Is backed by a buffer pool put in place as insurance for reversal events Is transparent, measured with remote sensing and traceable -we show when, where and by whom the carbon is sequestered, all the way down to the individual plot and farmer level įeatures a durability period of 20 years-this is the period during which the CO2 represented by a CRU is expected to remain removed from the atmosphere or sequestered in the buffer pool Is derived from projects that exclusively cover smallholder farmers (<10 ha) in developing countries Provides a nature-based solution-we use agroforestry methods rather than technological solutions like direct air capture Is ex-post-the carbon is sequestered before the CRU is generated, not a promise for the future For organizations without a current relationship with Rabobank, a customer due diligence check, in accordance with Rabobank’s due diligence standards will be part of any purchase process.ĭenotes removal offsets (not avoidance, reduction or allowance credits) Rabobank/Acorn reserves the right to refrain from or discontinue contracting with individual organizations that do not (continue to) meet sustainability requirements.įurthermore, all buyers need to comply with the Rabobank Sustainability Statement.
