hiilenvarastoina

Hiilenvarastoina, also known as carbon sinks, are natural or artificial systems that absorb and store carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. These systems play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by reducing the amount of CO2 available to trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere. Examples of natural carbon sinks include forests, oceans, and soil. Forests, in particular, absorb CO2 through photosynthesis, while oceans and soil store carbon through various biological and chemical processes. Artificial carbon sinks, such as carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, are designed to capture CO2 emissions from industrial processes and store them underground or use them for other purposes. The effectiveness of carbon sinks is influenced by factors such as the size of the sink, the rate of carbon absorption, and the duration of carbon storage. Monitoring and managing carbon sinks are essential for understanding and addressing climate change.
