  Tree crops’ CO2 Removal Capacity Calculation Tool (CO2RCCT)                
                             
 
CO2RCCT was developed within Action C.4 of the LIFE CLIMATREE project (LIFE14 CCM/GR/000635).

The LIFE CLIMATREE project is co-financed by the European Commission in the framework of the Programme LIFE Climate Change Mitigation.
                         
                             
 
CO2RCCT was designed and developed by the scientific team of TERRA NOVA Ltd.
                       
 
Its structure and operation is based on the CO2 Removal Capacity Algorithm (CO2RCA), that was developed by TERRA NOVA in the context of Action C.4 of LIFE CLIMATREE.

uehr
The Soil section of CO2RCA and CO2RCCT was developed by the Institute of Urban Environment and Human Resources of the Panteion University of Athens (UEHR)
                       
 
and more specifically by:
                         
  Angelos Mimis
Associate Professor at the Department of Economic and Regional Development
                       
 
The specific section was based on RothC version 26.3.
                         
                             
 
The back-end Database that supports the operation of CO2RCCT by providing data and coefficients to the CO2RCA, was developed by:
