Exhibit A1
Thousands of years of very slow decomposition of organic
matter creates an enormous carbon storage in peat soil ILLUSTRATIVE
Indonesian peat
is storing 36 Gt
of carbon (132
Gtof CO2e) at
present below
ground
Land under Peat forest store
flooded 4,2 Gt of carbon
conditions (15 Gt CO2e)
above ground
As a
comparison the
worlds largest
rainforest, the
Amazon, is
storing 46 Gt of
Slow drainage resulting in Slow decomposing carbon )(168 Gt
standing water and very organic materials caused Accumulation of of CO2e)
slow decomposition of by lack of oxygen and low organcic materials
biomass abundance of (peat)

Exhibit A2
Peat emissions are a result of decomposition and fires of already ILLUSTRATIVE
degraded land and new land openings will increase emissions in
the future
Existing land

Decomposition Peat fire
after drainage
Future land
