Carbon capture refers to the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide emissions to mitigate climate change and reduce greenhouse gas concentrations.

Carbon negative refers to a company, sector, or country that removes more CO2 from the atmosphere than it emits.

Company or organization receives credit for funding an external projects that reduce emissions

Carbon Removal refers to the process of sequestering carbon from the atmosphere and storing it or reusing it.

As opposed to storage or sequestration – this is “re-productizing” or recycling carbon to contribute to energy security or consumer goods and products.

One entity may lease the carbon rights of their land to the neighboring entity. This arrangement allows the neighboring entity to implement carbon sequestration activities on the leased land, such as afforestation or reforestation projects, while providing financial benefits to the landowner.

Looks at the transformation of primary (emitted) pollution into secondary pollution to determine the outcome of the pollutant

Compliance market credits are carbon marketplaces that governed and legally mandated where carbon credits are issued per company and per year. Compliance market credits usually work uses cap and trade system in which regulators set limit on carbon emission (the cap) and participants including emitters and financial intermediaries are allowed to trade (trade) allowances to make profit from unused credits. This includes Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)

Conservative discounting is used when estimating credits to account for the possibility that some of the carbon stocks may be lost or emissions may be released in the future due to unforeseen events or risks, thereby providing a buffer against potential reversals

Real-time monitoring systems installed at industrial facilities to measure and report emissions of specific pollutants.

Cooling in the context of the EBF refers to a proven lowering of atmospheric temperature in a given area as compared to an established baseline.
