A carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a naturally occurring greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, concentrations of which have increased (from 280 parts per million in preindustrial times

A Carbon dioxide equivalent is a Metric measure used to compare the Emissions from various greenhouse gases based upon their global warming potential (GWP).

A Carbon Equivalent is a Metric measure used to compare the Emissions of different greenhouse gases based upon their global warming potential (GWP). Greenhouse gas Emissions in the U.

A Carbon intensity is the relative amount of carbon emitted per unit of energy or fuels consumed.

A Carbon Monoxide is Carbon Monoxide is colorless,

- Carbon Monoxide (CO) : A Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas produced by incomplete fossil fuel combustion.

- Carbon pool : A Carbon pool is the reservoir containing carbon as a principal Element in the geochemical cycle.

A Carbon sequestration is the uptake and storage of carbon.

Carbon sinks are Carbon reservoirs and conditions that take-in and store more carbon (i.e., carbon sequestration) than they release. Carbon sinks can serve to partially offset

A carbon tax is a charge on fossil fuels (coal, oil,
