🌍 What is the difference between carbon removal and avoidance projects in the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM)?
🔬 Carbon removal is the elimination of existing carbon emissions, by absorption, after they have entered the atmosphere. Carbon removal projects can take place in two ways, either with the use of technology or done naturally. Examples include: enhanced rock weathering, biochar, agricultural land management, and blue carbon projects.
🚫 Carbon avoidance is the prevention of future carbon emissions being released into the atmosphere. Some examples include: renewable energy, household and community devices, such as cookstoves or biogas, and waste management.
Both types of reductions are equally important in the fight against climate change, and at ClimateSeed, we encourage a balanced approach. By understanding and supporting both carbon avoidance and carbon removal, we can make significant strides towards a sustainable future.
