A team of scientists from the Carnegie Institution for Science’s Department of Global Ecology and the USDA Forest Service’s Pacific Southwest Research Station (PSW) has developed new, more accurate methods for mapping carbon in Hawaii’s forests. Their research appears in an online issue of the journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment.

Researchers at the U.S. Forest Service’s Rocky Mountain Research Station in Fort Collins are taking a look at how managing forests to promote carbon sequestration might help put a damper on climate change.
All those trees in the mountains absorb carbon in the air originating from vehicle tail pipes, which means the more trees there are in the woods, the more vehicle carbon emissions are trapped in the forest without contributing to climate change, said Tom Crow, manager of the Forest and Woodlands Ecosystem Pro-gram at the Rocky Mountain Research Station.

WSHINGTON — The U.S. Forest Service released new estimates Friday of the total carbon storage of U.S. forests, highlighting the important role America’s forests play in the fight against climate change.
* Could ease global climate deal on deforestation
* 3-D image shows where carbon is stored in forests
* Map details how cutting down forests releases carbon
WASHINGTON, Sept 6 (Reuters) – A new, highly detailed map of part of Peru’s Amazon shows how much climate-warming carbon is stored there, and where cutting down vegetation has sent this greenhouse gas into the atmosphere, scientists said on Monday.

SINGAPORE (Reuters) – An Australian carbon services firm has signed a deal aimed at protecting tropical forests in the Democratic Republic of Congo as well as boosting renewable energy there, a senior company official said on Wednesday.
Shift2Neutral and its partners would help value the carbon storage from forest and land protection, certify carbon related services to communities in the DRC and help sell certified carbon offsets.

The press seems to cover Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) as a matter of routine these days – local, national and international. For someone who hasn’t looked at the technology in detail, it can be hard to decipher its potential role, status and readiness. Things get even more confusing when policy debates enter the picture. Fortunately, reality is simpler.
