Description
This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to implement a bio-char storage system at senior management or project management level in forest/farm forest, sawmilling or timber treatment settings.The unit applies to job roles covering project, sustainability or environmental management.No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Assess bio-char carbon storage system feasibility
  • 1.1 Research bio-char carbon storage systems.
  • 1.2 Explore organisational need for bio-char carbon storage system and investigate context of requirements through consultation.
  • 1.3 Investigate context of bio-char carbon storage system and clarify requirements with appropriate personnel.
  • 1.4 Identify and document user requirements and environmental parameters.
