From what it is to how it works and how it is ultimately stored, this introduction has clearly explained the natural carbon sequestration and even hinted at the consequences of the industrial versions of storing carbon dioxide deep underground. There are arguments in favor of and against these pr...

“You will never find carbon credits incentivizing a practice that isn’t already profitable for a farm,” he continued. There isn’t enough money in carbon credits to allow them to stand on their own as a profitable income stream. In other words, the farmer has to embrace a practice beca...
The incentive seems to be to place the maximum volume of credits on the market, a situation in which all actors in the chain benefit economically. In this win-win situation, many lose their capacity to serve as checks and balances: neither the standards that stamp thei...
Parties might opt for their "optimal" choice by referring to predictions of the future development of carbon stocks in forests and the accountable credits and debits.

Traditional carbon markets often sell ‘carbon credits’ based on already existing renewable electricity. In this scenario there is no additionality. You are merely claiming the existing renewable energy production as yours and giving responsibility for the existing dirty energy production to someone else...
into account. For example, a tree planted in one year to offset carbon should not be removed in the future. Carbon offset projects can also create leakage, where a project causes impacts that unintentionally increase emissions elsewhere, such as whendeforestationis simply relocated rather than...
The error, misleadingly called “net imbalance” by the authors, was equal to CO2removal due to the extra fertilization. This is how the IPCC explained its decision to disregard CO2fertilization: “There are possible processes on land which could account for the missing CO2 (but...
Rather, the additionality requirement is simply that activities are newly additional relative to a pre-established baseline period – this is why some farmers joked that they should stop cover-cropping for a few years so they could re-start and earn more credits. Both Nori and Indigo’s ...
The preference of US policymakers for carbon markets is influenced by the nation's previous experiences with energy taxes. Taxes have not been popular in the United States, and the country's experience with energy tax credits has also proven to be unreliable. The “on-again, off-again” ...
