Intro to Soil Science
Carbon credits are permits that represent the right to emit a specific amount of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases, typically measured in metric tons. These credits are part of market-based approaches to controlling pollution, allowing entities to trade them as a way to incentivize reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The concept is closely tied to efforts aimed at soil carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation, as these practices can generate credits through the capture and storage of carbon in soils.
congrats on reading the definition of carbon credits. now let's actually learn it.
