Carbon Sequestration Programs

Biologic Carbon Sequestration - The procedure of storing carbon in plant life, aquatic or soil .

Agroforestry - it is the synchronizing of other plant make up with agriculture. The primary goal is to enhance the wellbeing of the cultivation and promote positive externalities. These externalities are not limited to carbon sequestration, healthier soil and more yield.

While decreasing emission is not dismissible, there are other opportunities to prevent the consequences of a high concentration of green house gasses. Utilizing this strategy can enable the absorption rate of carbon to increase from the aid of trees.

The benefits of agroforestry promote a higher quality standard for the environment. As other plants are grown symbiotically with crops, the environment experiences a variety of changes. Some of these include higher production yield because of increase nutrients due to the variety of plants and more space to enable biodiversity.

Different Types of Agroforestry :

1.Silvopasture - trees and livestock coexisting with one another.

2.Alley Cropping - Trees are grown in-between crop plantations. Promotes storage of carbon, quality of water and nutrients.

3.Windbreaks - Trees or shrubs grown in rows to protect the crops from environmental hazards. Such as snow, wind and dust.

4.Forest Farming - This method utilizes forest canopies that are reserved to shelter crops. Beneficial for forests as it reserves much of the trees from deforestation.

5.Riparian forest - The usage of trees and shrubs near a body of water (lake) to the quality of the water and from erosion.

Geological Carbon Sequestration - The procedure of storing carbon in bodies of rock .

Geological sequestration of carbon is a developing area much like biologic carbon sequestration. Though, it occurs naturally in a large scale. It is possible for carbon dioxide to be sequestered from industrial facilities. A technique called enhanced oil recovery has been used to displace oil and gas. Another strategy, involving the injection of fluid state of carbon into the surface of the Earth.
