Economic aspects of the implantation and management of Eucalyptus spp. stands, under the Clean Forest Development Mechanism (CDM-F) in the state of Acre, 2013

Abstract

This study aimed to generate economic information on reforestation, with the genus Eucalyptus, implanted to recover degraded pastures in the state of Acre. Thus, data were collected in 2012 on the costs of these stands and the prices of Certified Carbon Emissions Reductions (CERs) and wood as biomass. The adopted method analyzed the feasibility of reforestation using the concepts of Net Present Value (NPV), Leveling Point (PN) and Expected Value of Land (EVL), calculated at interest rates of 6, 8, 10, 12 and 20% per year. The results obtained allowed to infer that: the costs obtained with these plantations are higher than those found in other studies; the NPV, when generating CERs, proved to be viable at all rates adopted, except at 20% a.a. and, when generating CERs, it was not viable at all rates adopted; The minimum area for reforestation, in the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), is 40.7 ha, at the rate of 6% a.a.; The project's IRR is 12.5 and 18% a.a. if the land factor is or not included, respectively, and the land can have a maximum value of R $ 5,192.17 / ha so that the project is remunerated at the rate of 12% per year.
