    Deforestación

    La plantación de árboles después de un incendio o en un lugar donde ya existían en el pasado es la reforestación. Para ayudar a la descarbonización también es posible invertir en la forestación, la creación de bosques y selvas en terrenos donde no los había, pero donde pueden prosperar sin un impacto negativo sobre las personas o el ecosistema.

    Degree of Incarbonization (Degree of Hulification)
    Stage reached by coal during incarbonization. The materials that underwent the less pronounced evolution are qualified as solid fuels of low degree of incarbonization; Those that have undergone a more pronounced evolution are qualified as solid fuels with a high degree of incarbonization. Most of the properties of coal depend on its degree of carbonization. There is a continuous gradation between the lowest degree (peat) and the highest degree (anthracite).
    The nomenclature and the parameters used to determine differences in the degree of incarbonization vary internationally.
    degree r(º)
    The degree is the unit of a plane angle equal to 1/360 of a complete circumference or to 1/90 of a right angle.
    Delivery Point
    Point of a network in which electricity is delivered to another network.
