"Carbon Bank" is a term used to describe the international effort to reduce carbon gas emissions which may contribute to global warming. An industrialized nation may produce more than its share and a less developed nation may be provided incentives for not destroying its rain forests such as food aid and so on, since plant life, and especially the very rich plant life of the tropical rain forests removes carbon dioxide from the air by photosynthesis.
It is a repository for carbon dioxide. Generally refers to plants and trees. These use CO2 to build structure and grow. Even when dead they still hold CO2. If burnt they release the CO2 back into the atmosphere.
