How can carbon sequestration reduce greenhouse gases?
As trees grow, they absorb carbon dioxide through the process of photosynthesis and store carbon. This is known as sequestration. This helps to reduce carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere. Carbon sequestration through Kyoto-consistent tree planting is permitted under Article 3.3 of the Protocol to help countries meet their international target commitments. The credits generated from sequestered carbon could be traded in an emissions trading market.
