| Abstract | Prospective imbalances between supply and demand have been indicated in the rubber market resulting in a continuous plunge in rubber prices. The highest average price in 2011to lowest average price in 2014, has dropped 54.84percent due to direct impact on the costs of rubber plantersespecially new area of para rubber plantation such asHuai Thalaeng District in Nakhon Ratchasima Province. There is the possibility of the offset prices in rubber plantations by evaluation of carbon dioxide absorbedin para rubber to the valuation of the contract on carbon credits in voluntary markets. Carbon Storage in Para Rubber Biomass was assessed in the equations of biomass allometric to determine the carbon dioxide was absorbed from the atmosphere.The results of the study found that rubber plantations through seven yearsbefore latex tapping with biomass accumulation in the average of 0.027, 0.200, 0.641, 1.454, 3.343, 8.078 and 15.213 Mg ha-1respectively. While, average carbon storage in biomass at 0.014, 0.099, 0.321, 0.727, 1.671, 4.039 and 7.607 Mg ha-1, respectively. Furthermore, the carbon dioxide was absorbed from the atmosphere in the average of 0.051, 0.363, 1.177, 2.666, 6.127, 14.810 and 27.892 Mg ha-1, respectively. Subsequently, the net income from contracts equal to 578.637US$ ha-1from the carbon dioxide was absorbed from the atmosphere in case of trading of carbon credit sin the voluntary market. In addition, rubber tree is an essential tree species that absorbed carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and stored in its biomass. With this, rubber plantation can act as carbon sink. Therefore, Thailand, especially Huai Thalaenghas potential for rubber plantation and mitigated greenhouse gases in the atmosphere through carbon trapping of rubber plantations. |
