RPM NATIVE BIOMASS
Renewable Energy & Carbon Sequestration
The cross-sections were taken from 2 black oak trees same seed stock, planted at the same time and grown side by side under identical conditions. For scale, the RPM tree is 20 cm in diameter average (approx. 7.5 in), and the bare-root grown tree is 9 cm (approx. 3.5 in) diameter.
GREATER BIOMASS PRODUCTION
WITH RPM NATIVE TREES!
RPM Ecosystems brings native trees to the table as a viable source for woody biomass production, carbon sequestration, and for other valuable applications.
- RPM native crops are a predictable, sustainable and reliable source of woody biomass feed stock for bio-energy and bio-products.
- RPM offers cost effective, time effective solutions for commercial woody biomass production.
Advantages of RPM fast growing native woody biomass:
- CO2 Neutral "Closed-Loop Process"
- Greater biomass per acre
- High BTU per acre
- Adaptable to Diverse Environmental Conditions
- Can be grown as a Polycultures
- Increases Biodiversity
- Consistent and Continual Biomass Supply
- Biomass Crops for Bio-energy, Bio-fuels, Bio-products
- Adaptable for a variety of production systems
- Ecosystem Services and Environmental benefits
- Predictable, Reliable, and Sustainable Solutions
RPM native bio-energy crops provide environmental and rural development benefits to:
- Reduce soil erosion and non-point source pollution
- Promote stable nutrient cycling
- Enhance soil carbon storage in roots and soil organic matter
- Provide wildlife habitats
- Enhance land diversity and biodiversity
- Provide diversity in farm crops
- Provide alternative revenue sources for landowners
- Create jobs along production and conversion chain in communities
RPM TREES SEQUESTER 50% MORE CARBON ANNUALLY!
RPM trees with their faster growth and high survivability are a bankable source of forestry-based Greenhouse Gases (GHG) and Carbon emission offsets that also provide for valuable environmental benefits and credits.
RPM Advantage
Trees produced by the Root Production Method (RPM) have high survivability, approaching 95% and accelerated growth up to 2-3X. RPM tree's high survivability and rapid growth provide assurance that the benefits of a 15 year old hardwood tree will be achieved in 5 years.Forestry-based offsets exclusively using RPM native plant materials, produced by the patented, all natural, (non-GMO) Root Production Method require, less acreage and shorter timeframes to sequester GHG and Carbon emissions compared with other forestry-based solutions.
Independent research has established that the exponential value in sequestration rate of RPM trees is measurably high.
With the RPM tree advantage, conservatively 50% more carbon is sequestered annually in the above ground biomass as compared to conventionally grown seedlings or natural regeneration.
Using RPM trees, carbon and Nitrogen are sequestered at a faster rate than other plant material, both in the above and below ground biomass and at the surface soil level.
Taking the Ecosystems Approach
RPM approach's to each of its forestry-based offset projects provides companies, institutions and organizations with assured offsets and with the environmental and social impacts and benefits a healthy forest provides. The projects also grow investments in communities and countries.
RPM Forests are a Solid Green Investment
The quantified benefits from RPM forestry-based GHG and carbon offsets are measured in tons of CO2 equivalents. Using RPM native trees, the non-carbon benefits that contribute to the investment in a healthy forests will bring additional earlier returns on investment by:
- Sequestration and storage of GHS and Carbon;
- Restoration of degraded ecosystems;
- Improvement in air quality;
- Improvement in water quality;
- Providing for soil stabilization;
- Providing for flood control and watershed protection;
- Restoration of wildlife habitats;
- Conservation or restoration of biodiversity;
- Providing for economic opportunities.
