Carbon Dioxide Removal


Afforestation / Reforestation

Afforestation is the conversion of abandoned and degraded agricultural lands into forests, while reforestation is the replantation of trees in deforested land. Both practices can contribute to negative emissions since the growth of additional plant sequesters atmospheric carbon dioxide and naturally sink it in their biomass and in the soil.
