Paper industry generates green house gases in many stage of its operations; there is scope for implementation of CDM project preferably in forestry sector. JKPL's A/R CDM project under LULUCF category aims to GHG mitigation and sell emission reductions earned through carbon sequestration in the established agro-forestry plantations. JKPL, Rayagada and VCCSL (Social Enterprise), Kakinada have jointly developed such a project which will enable small and marginal farmers in Orissa and Andhra Pradesh to earn carbon revenues through linkage with the global carbon credit market by afforesting their degraded lands.
