Including the closely related terms sequestration project, and natural sequestration.
…. Carbon hotspots: Sources of high levels of carbon emissions, for organisations to focus their carbon reduction efforts on. Carbon insetting: The financing of carbon reduction or sequestration projects that reduce carbon emissions outside of an organisation’s direct operations but within its own supply chain. Carbon neutral: achieving a balance between the greenhouse gases put into the atmosphere…
… and those taken out. Carbon offsetting: The financing of carbon reduction or sequestration projects elsewhere, outside of an organisation’s direct operations, in order to ‘balance’ or compensate for emissions. Carbon sink: Anything natural that absorbs and stores carbon from the atmosphere for long periods of time – for example, forests, grasslands, soil and the ocean. A biological or ‘indirect…
… and form to reduce or remove mechanical cooling, heating, ventilation and lighting demand. Post occupancy evaluation: The process of obtaining feedback on a building's performance in use after it has been built and occupied. Sequestration: The capturing, removal and storage of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It can be ‘indirect’ (e.g. natural sequestration through carbon sinks) or ‘direct…
…’ form of sequestration. Circular economy: An alternative to our current ‘linear’ materials and waste system (take-waste- dispose). In a circular economy waste is substantially reduced and materials are circulated throughout the economy at their highest value and utility. Climate resilience: The ability to anticipate, prepare for, and respond to hazardous events or disturbances related…
… as positive actor in carbon sequestration. However, it is important to note that Livestock is a carbon emitter and reduces the net positive impact of land-use in Horsham District. ‒ Horsham District’s per capita emissions are 4.5 tCO2e/yr in 2020, around the same as the national average (source). ‒ HDC’s emissions account for approximately 1% of Horsham District’s total emissions. HDC can lead…
