Teak plantations can be a potential source for carbon dioxide absorption and carbon sequestration. Many countries in tropical regions therefore have long started to promoting teak plantations and improving the quality of teak wood as this would evidently lead to higher income. This study aimed to assess the value of carbon offsets in teak plantations for teak plants at the age stages of 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 28, 30, 31, 33, 34, 35 and 36 years. The assessment showed that teak plantations can create carbon stock in the range between 81.34 and 221.51 tCha-1 , which correlates with the age of teak, whilst the net income from carbon offset contracts over a chosen period of 5 years was estimated to be 1,161.71 USD ha-1 (232.342 USD ha-1 annually). The ability to store carbon in teak plantations has been considered highly potential for carbon trading in various markets around the world.
