ABSTRACTThis research aims to estimate the biomass, carbon storage, carbon dioxide uptake andoxygen produced by sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria (L.) Nielsen) stand aged 9, 11and 13 years in IUPHHK-HTI PT Parwata Rimba, Central Kalimantan. Estimated ofbiomass, carbon stock, CO2 uptake and Oxygen produced using allometric equations.The results showed that the storage of sengon standing biomass aged 9,11 and 13 yearsranged from 110.71 to 200.94 tons/ha, carbon stock ranged from 52.03 to 94.44 tons C/ha, CO2 uptake ranged from 190.79 to 259.13 tons CO2/ha and Oxygen produced around138.75 to 251.84 tons O2/ha. The total of biomass, carbon stock, CO2 uptake and Oxygenproduced by sengon stands at forest plantations are large enough to have an importantrole in global climate change mitigation in the forestry sector.Keywords: biomassa, climate change, forest plantation, karbon, sengon

This paper examines counterfactual display in the valuation of carbon offsetting projects. Considered a legitimate way to encourage climate change mitigation, such projects rely on the establishment of procedures for the prospective assessment of their capacity to become carbon sinks. This requires imagining possible worlds and assessing their plausibility. The world inhabited by the project is articulated through conditional formulation and subjected to what we call “counterfactual display”: the production and circulation of documents that demonstrate and con!gure the counterfactual valuation. We present a case study on one carbon offsetting reforestation project in the Democratic Republic of Congo. We analyse the construction of the scene that allows the “What would have happened” question to make sense and become actionable. We highlight the operations of calculative framing that this requires, the reality constraints it relies upon, and the entrepreneurial conduct it stimulates.
