• Key Concepts: 
  Biological sinks are areas of land or water that absorb and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. They are a key component of the global carbon cycle and play an important role in mitigating climate change. In the context of SAP Carbon Impact, biological sinks are used to offset emissions from activities such as burning fossil fuels. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP Carbon Impact, biological sinks can be used to offset emissions from activities such as burning fossil fuels. This is done by calculating the amount of carbon dioxide that is released into the atmosphere and then investing in projects that will absorb and store this carbon dioxide. These projects can include reforestation, wetland restoration, and soil carbon sequestration. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When investing in biological sinks, it is important to ensure that the project is sustainable and will continue to absorb and store carbon dioxide for a long period of time. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the project is not causing any negative environmental impacts such as deforestation or water pollution.
