Abstract
El presente trabajo evalúa la viabilidad técnica y financiera de un proyecto de carbono forestal bajo el enfoque de Aforestación, Reforestación y Revegetación (ARR) en la región San Martín, Amazonía peruana. La iniciativa, desarrollada por One Tree Planted y el Centro de Innovación y Gestión para el Desarrollo Sostenible (CIGDES), busca restaurar 6 350 ha degradadas mediante sistemas agroforestales y de reforestación con especies nativas y no maderables. La metodología incluyó la caracterización institucional del socio ejecutor, la evaluación de modelos agroforestales, el análisis de elegibilidad, adicionalidad y permanencia conforme al estándar Gold Standard (2024) y la construcción de un modelo financiero a 30 años. Los resultados evidencian que CIGDES posee capacidades técnicas y sociales consolidadas, y que los modelos propuestos (cacao, café y sistemas mixtos con Hevea brasiliensis, Brosimum alicastrum y Theobroma bicolor) presentan coherencia ecológica y aceptación social. El análisis financiero estima la generación de 2,71 millones de créditos de carbono y un beneficio neto cercano a USD 90 millones en el escenario medio. El proyecto demuestra adicionalidad, permanencia y potencial de escalabilidad regional, en coherencia con las metas del ProREST y las NDC del Perú. En conjunto, se confirma que la restauración productiva basada en SAF constituye una oportunidad técnica y económica viable para mitigar emisiones y mejorar medios de vida locales, aunque su efectividad depende de superar las limitaciones institucionales y la débil articulación de políticas sectoriales.
This work assesses the technical and financial feasibility of a forest carbon project under the Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation (ARR) approach in San Martín, Peruvian Amazon. The initiative, developed by One Tree Planted and the Center for Innovation and Management for Sustainable Development (CIGDES), aims to restore 6 350 ha of degraded land through agroforestry and reforestation systems using native and non-timber species. The methodology involved institutional assessment of the implementing partner, evaluation of agroforestry models, and analysis of eligibility, additionality, and permanence following the Gold Standard (2024) requirements, as well as a 30-year financial model. Results show that CIGDES has solid technical and social capacities, and that the proposed models (cacao, coffee, and mixed systems with Hevea brasiliensis, Brosimum alicastrum, and Theobroma bicolor) are ecologically coherent and socially accepted. The financial analysis projects 2.71 million carbon credits and a net benefit of about USD 90 million under the medium-price scenario. The project demonstrates additionality, permanence, and strong potential for regional scalability, consistent with Peru’s ProREST and NDC targets. Overall, productive restoration based on agroforestry systems is confirmed as a viable technical and economic pathway for emission mitigation and rural livelihoods improvement, though its effectiveness remains limited by weak institutional coordination and policy implementation.
