| Bamboo Production | Industry | Bamboo rapidly sequesters carbon in biomass and soil and can thrive on degraded lands. Long-lived bamboo products can store carbon over time. | Details |
| Abandoned Farmland Restoration | Industry | Restoration can bring degraded farmland back into productivity and sequester carbon in the process. | Details |
| Managed Grazing | Industry | Managed grazing involves carefully controlling livestock density and timing and intensity of grazing. Compared with conventional pasture practices, it can improve the health of grassland soils, sequestering carbon. | Details |
| Bioplastics | Land Sinks | Most plastics are made from fossil fuels, but bioplastics utilize plants as an alternative source of carbon. They often have lower emissions and sometimes biodegrade. | Details |
| Recycled Metals | Land Sinks | Metals are extracted from nonrenewable ores. Recycled metals capitalize on already extracted materials—making it possible to produce goods more efficiently, reduce the need to extract new resources, and cut down on energy and water use. | Details |
| Alternative Cement | Land Sinks | Conventional cement production is a significant source of carbon dioxide. Reformulation can reduce emissions by millions of metric tons each year. | Details |
| Composting | Land Sinks | Composting can range from backyard bins to industrial-scale operations. Regardless, it converts organic waste into soil carbon, averting landfill methane emissions in the process. | Details |
| Bicycle Infrastructure | Transportation | Infrastructure is essential for supporting safe and abundant bicycle use, which curbs emissions by reducing the need for fossil-fuel-dependent transportation. | Details |
| Efficient Ocean Shipping | Transportation | Huge volumes of goods are shipped across oceans. Fuel-saving ship design, technologies, and practices can trim greenhouse gas emissions. | Details |
| Carpooling | Transportation | When people share rides in passenger vehicles through ride-sharing or similar practices, they can reduce greenhouse gas emissions per traveler. | Details |
| Efficient Aviation | Transportation | Technologies and practices that can lower airplane emissions include better engines, wingtips, and reducing airplanes’ weight. | Details |
| Distributed Energy Storage | Electricity | Standalone batteries and electric vehicles store energy. They can enable 24/7 electricity supply even when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing. | Details |
| Biomass Power | Electricity | Biomass feedstock can replace fossil fuels for generating heat and electricity. Perennial biomass offers a “bridge” to a clean, renewable energy future. | Details |
| Concentrated Solar Power | Electricity | Concentrated solar power uses sunlight as a heat source. Arrays of mirrors concentrate incoming rays onto a receiver to heat fluid, produce steam, and turn turbines. | Details |
| Farm Irrigation Efficiency | Food, Agriculture, and Land Use | Drip and sprinkler irrigation, among other practices and technologies, make farm water use less energy/fuel intensive and conserve significant amounts of freshwater. | Details |
| Improved Aquaculture | Food, Agriculture, and Land Use | Aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing animal food sectors. Because some aquaculture systems are highly energy intensive, ensuring part of the on-site energy consumption is based on renewable resources would reduce greenhouse gas emissions. | Details |
| Improved Cattle Feed | Food, Agriculture, and Land Use | Optimizing cattle feeding strategies can lower the methane emissions produced within the ruminant digestive system. Nutrient enriched diets of high-quality forages, additives, and supplements aim to improve animal health and productivity. | Details |
