Soil carbon protocols exist elsewhere in the world but cannot be applied effectively to UK soils. As part of the Code development, the consortium will review these protocols and look for opportunities to combine and adapt them for UK use. The list of protocols we under consideration are:
CAR
VERRA 1
VERRA 2
Gold Standard
Nori
Baker Institute
GSOC from FAO
Australian Soil Carbon Quantification
ISO 14064-2 (being used by Soil Capital in trial with Cool Farm Tool)
