5  The sequestration buffer
  For paragraph 2(c) of this Schedule, BSeq is equal to:
 (a) if the project is a 25‑year permanence period project—0.25; and
 (b) if the project is a 100‑year permanence period project—0.05.
Note: The sequestration buffer, BSeq, is a buffer that is applied in lieu of the risk of reversal buffer number and the permanence period discount number that would otherwise apply in relation to a sequestration offsets project under subsection 16(2) of the Act. This buffer accounts for the risk that carbon sequestered as a result of the project does not remain permanently in the landscape.
