Carbon farming
Carbon farming is a name for a variety of agricultural methods aimed at sequestering atmospheric carbon into the soil and in crop roots, wood and leaves. The aim of carbon farming is to increase the rate at which carbon is sequestered into soil and plant material with the goal of creating a net loss of carbon from the atmosphere. Increasing a soil's organic matter content can aid plant growth, increase total carbon content, improve soil water retention capacity and reduce fertilizer use.
Personal carbon trading
Carbon rationing, as a means of reducing CO2 emissions to contain climate change, could take any of several forms. One of them, personal carbon trading, is the generic term for a number of proposed emissions trading schemes under which emissions credits would be allocated to adult individuals on a (broadly) equal per capita basis, within national carbon budgets. Individuals then surrender these credits when buying fuel or electricity.
Bilan carbone
Le bilan carbone lié à la fabrication d'un produit ou à l'activité d'une entité humaine (individu, groupe, collectivité) est un outil de comptabilisation de ses émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Il tient compte de l'énergie primaire et de l'énergie finale de ces produits et services. Le bilan carbone vise à renseigner les systèmes d'échange de type bourse du carbone, à poser les bases de solutions efficaces de réduction de la consommation énergétique, et peut optimiser la fiscalité écologique (taxe carbone.
Greenhouse gas inventory
Greenhouse gas inventories are emission inventories of greenhouse gas emissions that are developed for a variety of reasons. Scientists use inventories of natural and anthropogenic (human-caused) emissions as tools when developing atmospheric models. Policy makers use inventories to develop strategies and policies for emissions reductions and to track the progress of those policies. Regulatory agencies and corporations also rely on inventories to establish compliance records with allowable emission rates.
