45  Predicted long-term carbon stock and project emissions in a CEA
Note: The predicted long-term average carbon stock or long-term project scenario carbon stock is re-calculated for each offsets report. It can change slightly as the long-term project scenario simulation will replace predicted events with actual events for the time since the last simulation.
Predicted long-term average carbon stock for a new plantation CEA, conversion CEA or a continuing plantation CEA
 (1) If the ith CEA of the project is a new plantation CEA, a conversion CEA or a continuing plantation CEA, the predicted long-term average carbon stock must be calculated in accordance with subsection (2).
 (2) The predicted long-term average project carbon stock for the modelling period for the ith CEA () (in tonnes CO2‑e) is calculated using the following equation:
  Equation 8

  where:
 is the predicted C mass in forest debris (in tonnes C per hectare) for the ith CEA in the kth month since the modelling start date—from the long-term project scenario simulation.
 is the predicted C mass of trees (in tonnes C per hectare) for the ith CEA in the kth month since the modelling start date—from the long-term project scenario simulation.
is the predicted C mass in forest products (in tonnes C per hectare) for the ith CEA in the kth month since the modelling start date—from the long‑term project scenario simulation.
 is the area (in hectares) of the ith CEA.
Predicted long-term project scenario carbon stock for an ex-plantation CEA
 (3) If the ith CEA of the project is an ex-plantation CEA, the predicted long-term project scenario carbon stock must be calculated in accordance with subsection (4).
 (4) The predicted long-term project scenario carbon stock for the modelling period for the ith CEA () (in tonnes CO2‑e) is calculated using the following equation:
  Equation 9

  where:
 is the predicted C mass in forest debris (in tonnes C per hectare) for the ith CEA at the end of the modelling period—from the long-term project scenario simulation.
 is the predicted C mass of trees (in tonnes C per hectare) for the ith CEA at the end of the modelling period—from the long-term project scenario simulation.
is the predicted C mass in forest products (in tonnes C per hectare) for the ith CEA at the end of the modelling period—from the long‑term project scenario simulation.
 is the area (in hectares) of the ith CEA.
Emissions from biomass burning for long‑term project scenario simulation
 (5) The emissions for the modelling period from biomass burning for the ith CEA (EP,Fire,i) (in tonnes CO2‑e) is calculated using the following equation:
  Equation 10

  where:
 represents a number of months, and is equal to:
 (a) for a new plantation CEA, a conversion
