	World Land Trust - Personal Carbon Balancing Introduction
		Carbon balancing with the World Land Trust is intended to demonstrate the value of rainforests in climate regulation.
		We have calculated the amount of carbon dioxide produced by different activities, and used the latest scientific research coupled with our own studies in the project areas that we are working to estimate the amounts of carbon absorbed by rainforests.
		Carbon sequestration is the process by which carbon dioxide (CO2) is actively removed from the atmosphere and stored in plant materials through photosynthesis.

	edie news centre - Carbon Trust identifies low carbon technologies with greatest potential
		Through assessment by independent experts, the Trust’s new Low Carbon Innovation Programme (LCIP) has studied 49 technologies for their ability to assist in the move to a low carbon economy and where investment would have the most significant impact.
		However, Technology Director at the Carbon Trust, Dr David Vincent, notes that other technologies not highlighted by the investigation could still become a focus for future investment if they can demonstrate their ability to deliver significant carbon emission reductions.
		The Carbon Trust believes that this study is the first of its kind giving low carbon technologies a ranking for investment purposes.
