Land-management biomass-burning and fire methane and nitrous oxide emissions

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: Land Sector and Removals Standard, Version 1.1, published 30 June 2026; effective 1 January 2027.

• Biomass-burning and fire sources included.
• Basis for associating burning or fire events with land-management activities.
• Methane and nitrous oxide treatment and GHG characterization method.
• Applicable scope, Scope 3 category where relevant, land-use category, and spatial boundary.
• Data sources, uncertainty treatment, and treatment of exceptional fire events where applicable.

Record-specific limitations

• Limited to methane and nitrous oxide emissions from biomass burning and fires; it does not represent direct biogenic carbon dioxide emissions.
• Must not be represented by direct ghg-biogenic-co2, which is limited to direct Scope 1 biogenic carbon dioxide and excludes land-management and Scope 3 biogenic results.
• Must remain separate from land-management removals, LUC emissions, biogenic-product emissions, avoided emissions, and GHG credits.
• The extracted evidence does not state a reporting unit; the quantity must be reported in the unit required by the applicable underlying GHG inventory.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
