Estimating the Carbon Dioxide Sequestration Using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques. A Case Study

Climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions is one of the main worldwide environmental problems. Through the ratification of the Paris Agreement, the world is trying to move towards a future with low greenhouse gas emissions to limit the impact of climate change. The European Union has also raised the EU's emissions reduction target by 2030 from 40% to 55% through the European Climate Law, achieving climate neutrality by 2050 being now a legal obligation. Thus, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and especially carbon emissions, in addition to the methods of reducing industrial and transport emissions, all biological, geological, and technological storage methods are also in focus. This paper presents a method to determine the biological carbon sequestration using remote sensing and GIS techniques through a case study related to Dâmboviţa County (Romania). The method involves analyzing satellite images and spatial data to map the results.
