Carbon sequestration

Sustainable management of forests carbon sequestration.

For example, carbon sequestration allows the capture and storage of carbon in underground geological formations and deep oceans.

We are doing the sequestration of about 100,000 tons of carbon with these trees.

This new technology, called carbon capture and sequestration, can cut by 80 the carbon dioxide emitted during the production of electricity.

But fire also leaves the soil bare, releasing carbon.

But this technology, called carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), is not yet proven on a large scale.

In addition, changes in cultivation practices which limit the future rate of soil erosion may enhance carbon uptake and reduce carbon mobilization from soil to air.

Forests contain just over half of the carbon residing in terrestrial vegetation and soil. The carbon stored in the soil and litter of forest ecosystems also makes up a significant proportion of the total carbon pool.

At current carbon prices, the value of carbon sequestration by tropical rainforests likely equals or exceeds the current level of international aid being provided to developing countries.

The result is an almost pure carbon dioxide stream that can be transported to the sequestration site and stored.

land use change, rate of biodiversity loss, freshwater use, functions which regulate biomass on the planet, carbon sequestration, diversity.

The biophysical impacts include dust storms, downstream flooding, impairment of global carbon sequestration capacity, and regional and global climate change.

One report draws attention to the connection between forest systems and carbon sequestration and recommends the preservation of forest stands.

Agriculture is already responding positively to climate change mitigation through substitution of fossil fuels, continued energy efficiency and carbon sequestration.

In the longer term, it is hoped that carbon capture and sequestration will lead to zero emissions fossil fuel energy systems.

Sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by the LUCF sector in most Parties offset the GHG emissions originating from this sector.

UNDP and the World Bank were also working on models of carbon sequestration with the Governments of Cameroon, Guinea and Malaysia.

Strategies devised to fight climate change must take into account the double role of the agricultural sector as both an emitter of carbon dioxide and a promoter of carbon sequestration.

We had put too much carbon in the soil in the form of compost.

Now because the fate of water and carbon are tied to soil organic matter, when we damage soils, you give off carbon.

Such carbon capture and sequestration, or CCS, is urgently needed in the major coal consuming countries, especially China, India, Australia, and the US.

Dry water is currently being considered for use as a carbon sequestration agent to capture and seal away greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Spending on carbon capture and sequestration was just 67 million, while spending for energy efficiency of all types (buildings, transport, and industry) was 352 million.

Some media reports have suggested that techniques of this type, if coupled with effective carbon sequestration technologies, may offer a comprehensive solution to global warming.

Instruments tackling market failures and offering incentives to provide watershed protection, recreation, carbon sequestration, among many other non market benefits, contribute substantially to sustainable forest management.

However, there may sometimes be intangible benefits which are important for making a business case and those could be more difficult to measure e.g., carbon sequestration.

They contribute to the organic fraction of soil, and their growth releases carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere.

UNCTAD seeks to attract new investments for African countries in the area of energy generation, transportation, carbon sequestration and adaptation through capacity building activities for CDM project formulation.

Each Party included in Annex I shall account for all changes in the following carbon pools above ground biomass, below ground biomass, litter, dead wood, and soil organic carbon.

Second, the world s industrial core must create incentives for its energy industries to undertake the investments in new technologies that will move us by mid century to an economic structure that is light on carbon emissions and heavy on carbon sequestration.

The Scientific Group continued the discussion of the issue of carbon dioxide sequestration in geological structures and adopted the report of the carbon dioxide working group, endorsing all of its conclusions and recommendations (see IMO document LC SG 28(14)).

No till farming techniques, in which the soil is not plowed, mean less soil erosion, less runoff of agricultural chemicals, and lower fuel consumption and carbon emissions by mechanized farm equipment.

Carbon, carbon, carbon, carbon, carbon.

But, especially after the signing of the Kyoto protocol, we can value at least part of these environmental services carbon sequestration (that is, if they did not maintain their forests, the level of carbon concentrations in the atmosphere would be enormously higher).

Unless we are extraordinarily fortunate and learn that climatologists have overlooked some enormously important channels of carbon sequestration, the models predicting global warming will still be grimly accurate in 2009.

Many Parties provided lists of abatement and sequestration projects.

They're good for the environment because they enable no till farming, which leaves the soil in place, getting healthier from year to year slso keeps less carbon dioxide going from the soil into the atmosphere.

Carbon Capture and Sequestration that's what CCS stands for is likely to become the killer app that will enable us to continue to use fossil fuels in a way that is safe.

The best approach would be for Europe, Japan, and Canada to buy certificates of biological carbon sequestration from Africa as part of their efforts to meet their obligations under the Kyoto Protocol.

Another issue would be the need to define the relationship between this instrument and existing legally binding instruments that already deal with certain forest related matters, such as biological diversity and carbon sequestration.

The second project development facility developed a framework for a consensus building process, to identify global environmental benefits accruing from addressing land degradation in drylands, conservation of biodiversity, international waters and sequestration of carbon.

2 Two of these, in Benin and the Sudan, seek to combine anti desertification efforts with carbon sequestration schemes, through better village based land use systems, to prevent the over exploitation of marginal lands.

lots of little ways in lots of little places, is by copying the ancient Amazon Indians who made good agricultural soil by pyrolizing, smoldering, plant waste, and biochar fixes large quantities of carbon while it's improving the soil.
