The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of what carbon sequestration is, how forests are used as natural carbon sinks and how selling carbon credits is proving to be a potentially new revenue stream for organizations and other entities managing large tracks of forested area. Finally, this paper will show how Remsoft’s spatial planning and modeling software system enables efficient and effective management of forests as carbon sinks. Key words: carbon sequestration, carbon credits, carbon trading, forestry, forests as carbon sinks, spatial planning and modeling software, Remsoft

Arguments for a portfolio of price, regulation and subsidy policy interventions to reduce the production and consumption of greenhouse gas emissions are presented. The operation and effects of each intervention are described and compared. A combination of different sets of market failures across the many potential decision changes available to producers and consumers to reduce emissions and different properties of the mitigation instruments support a portfolio approach to reduce emissions at a low cost.

The forest carbon sinks play an important role in controlling the Greenhouse Gas emissions. The project management of wood carbon sequestration materials will be helpful to attract more and more enterprises to step into forestation, reforestation and technology development for improvement of forest management. That will create a sustainable situation that governments, NGO and corporations join together. Based on the domestic and foreign literature, the paper sorts out the current literature in the direction of forest carbon sequestration managements are from five aspects such as, carbon policy, carbon sequestration, carbon conservation, carbon substitution, carbon benefits. Based on this, the paper puts forward the policy and the long-term objectives of wood carbon sequestration materials should be integration of the implementation.

In recent years, developing economical adsorbents to treat with different types of pollutants has attracted great interest. Waste mussel shells are common wastes produced by the seafood industry. They have some advantages over conventional process such as simplicity of design and low cost. In this study, the uncalcinated and calcinated mussel shells were characterisated for their surface characteristics. Mussel shells washed with tap water several times followed by distilled water and dried at 105°C for 12 hours in an oven. They were powdered to small particles and calcined at 900°C for 2 hours. The sample was finely ground into small particles of different sizes, washed with distilled water and dried overnight at 105°C. And then, the sample was calcined at a heating rate of 2°C/min to 400°C and maintaned at this temperature for 4 hours.The calcined and uncalcined mussel shell samples were characterised by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller and Zeta potential mesaurements. The results indicated that calcination studies improved the surface charasteristics of the mussel shells and that the calcinated mussel shells can be used in adsorption studies as a novel low-cost, eco-friendly biosorbent efficiently Keywords: Adsorption, calcination, characterization, mussel shell.
