Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crenla Inc. is engaged in carbon trading, as they have exceeded their carbon emission limit and are now purchasing credits from a low-polluting company to offset their emissions. Carbon ranching involves changing land use to increase the amount of carbon stored in soil and vegetation, carbon offsetting involves reducing emissions in one activity to offset emissions in another activity, and carbon sequestration involves capturing and storing carbon dioxide underground or underwater. None of these options accurately represent Crenla's situation.
