Carbon sink

To reach climate neutrality in 2050, we need deep emission cuts as well as sustainable solutions for removing and recycling carbon. Part of the solution is in clean technologies and part of it in nature-based solutions. Carbon farming restores carbon cycles, enables our natural carbon sinks to absorb more carbon and rewards land managers for taking care of nature. 🌲🪱🌿 Credit @ourplanet_eu #discoverearthlife #discoverearths

THE OCEAN, A CARBON SINK A carbon sink is a natural or artificial reservoir that absorbs and stores the atmosphere’s carbon with physical and biological mechanisms. Coal, oil, natural gases, methane hydrate and limestone are all examples of carbon sinks. After long processes and under certain conditions, these sinks have stored carbon for millennia. On

The rate at which carbon dioxide is lost from soil has risen faster than the rate at which it is used by land plants, because soil microbes have become more active — possibly weakening the land surface’s ability to act as a carbon sink.

A carbon sink balances the amount of carbon dioxide that cycles between our Earth and the atmosphere. Learn how this occurs and why it matters.

Fundamental research at MIT is the first step toward commercialization of a simple additive to a concrete mix.

The launch of an online crowdsourcing database for seagrass hopes to breathe new life into efforts to conserve the underwater flowering plants, which act as both important habitats for marine species and a major store of carbon dioxide.

With the ocean key to meeting 1.5C, all eyes are now on the vital but overlooked “big three” marine ecosystems – seagrass, mangroves and salt marshes

Forests and other land ecosystems emitted almost as much carbon dioxide as they absorbed in 2023 – if this persists it will be much harder to restrict global warming to agreed targets
