- Carbon
Carbon is the chemical element with symbol C and atomic
number 6. As a member of group 14 on the periodic table, it is nonmetallic
and tetravalent—making four electrons available to
form covalent chemical
bonds. There are three naturally occurring isotopes, with 12C
and 13C
being stable, while 14C is radioactive, decaying with a half-life
of about 5730 years.
Carbon is one of the few
elements known since antiquity.
The name "carbon" comes from Latin language carbo, coal.

- Carbon Accounting
Umbrella term referring to the act of measuring and reporting on an organization's greenhouse gas emissions.
Carbon accounting procedures typically aim to measure and report on the
emissions that a company is directly responsible for, but they can also track
emissions that result from a firm's supply chain and the activities of its
partners, customers and staff.
The practice is widely regarded as an essential first step towards cutting
carbon emissions.
However, critics have argued that its effectiveness is undermined by an
absence of international standards, which means that carbon calculations can be
undertaken differently from organization to organization.

- Carbon Credit
A carbon credit is a market-driven way of reducing the impact of greenhouse gas emissions; it allows an agent to benefit financially from an emission reduction. There are two forms of carbon credit, those that are part of national and international trade and those that are purchased by individuals.
Carbon Credits have a rather mixed history, as given the nature of the 'arms length' relationship between the producer of the carbon credit and the consumer of the credit; it's often difficult to ensure a consistent 'carbon value' to a given credit as there is no globally unified method of certification and validation of what exactly is a carbon credit. Further political interference in the market to encourage take up of carbon reducing technologies (like
Solar Panels) can devalue credits in market - making it less attractive to trade with. Also carbon credits can be held 'off market' so artificially controlling supply.

- Carbon Cycle
All parts (reservoirs) and fluxes of carbon. The cycle is usually thought of as four main reservoirs of carbon interconnected by pathways of exchange. The reservoirs are the atmosphere, terrestrial biosphere (usually includes freshwater systems), oceans, and sediments (includes fossil fuels). The annual movements of carbon, the carbon exchanges between reservoirs, occur because of various chemical, physical, geological, and biological processes. The ocean contains the largest pool of carbon near the surface of the Earth, but most of that pool is not involved with rapid exchange with the atmosphere.

- Carbon Footprint
-
Carbon Footprint refers to the the total greenhouse gas emissions that result from a person, organization, product or service over a given time.
It tends to act as an umbrella term for any attempt to measure greenhouse gas emissions and as a result can refer to simply the emissions that result from a single activity, such as flying; the emissions that result from an organization or building over the course of a year; or the full lifetime emissions of a product or organization, including emissions from the supply chain or disposal of resources.
While carbon footprints colloquially refer to the amount of CO2 emitted, the UK Carbon Trust endorses a wider definition and considers all six of the Kyoto Protocol greenhouse gases - Carbon dioxide, Methane, Nitrous oxide, Hydro fluorocarbons, Perfluorocarbons, and Sulfur hexafluoride - when measuring a carbon footprint.

- Carbon Fraud
Carbon Fraud is an aspect of global carbon markets.
Basically due to weak certification and validation processes in carbon markets, it is often quite easy to operate a 'fake' carbon offsetting business; i.e. claiming to run an offshore forest preservation scheme generating carbon credits when no such thing exists in reality (i.e. just pocket the money).
Also, due to the difficult nature of assessing exactly how much carbon some scheme or process offsets, you can also get fraud through over estimating the amount of carbon offset.
It is understood in some regions that organized crime has got involved in carbon markets, and that some markets have had to be suspended to investigate systematic fraud.

- Carbon Leakage
The theory that policy measures designed to reduce CO2 emissions in one
country or region will result in an increase in emissions in another country as
carbon intensive firms relocate to areas with less demanding environmental
regulations.
For example, it is feared that steel plants and other heavy industries faced
with planned carbon pricing regulations in the US may move their operations to
countries such as China or India that do not have carbon pricing schemes in an
attempt to avoid increased costs.
As a result, carbon emissions could simply "leak" from one country to
another, resulting in no net reduction in emissions.
The Kyoto Protocol and the EU Emissions Trading Scheme have both been accused
of causing carbon leakage, although there is little solid evidence as yet of
firms relocating solely as a result of carbon regulations.
One of the primary drivers for a global agreement to tackle climate change is
the hope that an international deal would remove the risk of carbon leakage by
establishing comparable carbon regulations for all countries.

- Carbon Market
A Carbon Market is a market created from the trading of carbon emission allowances to encourage or help countries and companies to limit their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. This is also known as emissions or carbon trading. Carbon emissions trading is a way of offsetting greenhouse gases produced by polluters.
Under Carbon trading, a country having more emissions of carbon is able to purchase the right to emit more and the country having less emission trades the right to emit carbon to other countries.

- Carbon Pollution
Carbon Pollution refers to the human produced Co2 that is meant to be harming the environment.
The trouble is Co2, in of itself, is not a
pollutant, it's a critical element to the majority of life on the Earth via the Oxygen/Co2 exchange between plants and animals. Too little Co2 in the atmosphere will result in the breakdown of this cycle and asphyxiation of most life on the Earth, the critical low point is around 100 ppm (parts per million); before the recent increase in Co2, we were down to 150 ppm. At low levels of Co2 in the atmosphere plants do not thrive or grow as quickly at higher levels (this is why greenhouses pump in Co2 to speed up plant growth).

- Carbon Sequestration
-
The uptake and storage of carbon. Trees and plants, for example, absorb carbon dioxide, release the oxygen and store the carbon. Fossil fuels were at one time biomass and continue to store the carbon until burned.
Carbon sequestration is usually a natural process although machine based techniques can be used to extract or prevent carbon from getting into the atmosphere and put it into long term storage.

- Carbon Tax
A Carbon Tax is a government imposed taxation on source goods and services in an attempt to reduce the production of carbon into the atmosphere.
Usually implemented as a form of 'at source' taxation; i.e. those whom manufacturer or consume the most carbon pay and everybody else on the supply chain picks up the price increase. This is often encountered with a carbon credit scheme, by which carbon producers can 'offset' their taxable carbon emissions against less carbon intense production methods.
As always with such schemes, the devil is in the detail; in particular there has been problems in the past with carbon fraud.
Note: This equally applies to the energy production sector as basic manufacturing; say if coal is being used as a source of electrical power.

- Carbon Trading
The sale and purchase of carbon credits or pollution permits through carbon
markets.
The practice is designed to help control carbon dioxide emissions by placing
a price on a ton of emitted CO2 and providing members of trading schemes with
economic incentives to reduce the amount of pollution they produce.
The market is dominated by cap-and-trade schemes, such as the EU's emissions
trading scheme, but carbon trading can also refer to the sale of carbon offsets
from emission reduction projects.
In theory, carbon trading mechanisms mean that emission reductions are
achieved at the lowest possible cost, as businesses will only purchase carbon
credits - effectively paying someone else to cut emissions for them - if they
can not deliver emission reductions at a lower cost themselves.
