This guide provides general information about carbon sources and sinks. It explains the basic concepts such as carbon dioxide equivalent and demonstrates how different issues might be relevant, depending on the context.
The guide includes examples of natural and commercial sources of carbon, calculating carbon emissions and carbon reduction ‘sinks’.
The information is relevant to several units of competency in the MSS Sustainability Training Package; however the guide is not aligned to a specific unit of competency or AQF level.
