Carbon emissions into the atmosphere are generated by natural and human activities. Natural reactions are part of a large, complex cycle of carbon generation and absorption referred to as the carbon cycle. Carbon is absorbed through three major carbon stores, or “sinks” in nature.

• The oceans
• The atmosphere
• The terrestrial system

The terrestrial system includes geological forms such as fossil fuel stores, which take hundreds of years to form, but also soils, plants and forests, which can store CO₂ on a much quicker scale.

The consumption of fossil fuels and land use change are increasing the balance of carbon.  in the atmosphere.

This is causing global warming. We need to reverse this by reducing our emissions into the atmosphere. This can  be done by planting trees which sink the CO₂ back into the terrestrial system.

Carbon projects which CO2logic promotes such as those involving biomass or wind turbines  reduce emissions at the source e.g. biomass and wind enery reduce the use of fossil fuels. CO2logic can claim to be the instigator of these reductions as they would not take place without our intervention. All projects which would take place without our intervention will not be invested in i.e. must be additional.
