Carbon Friendly Solutions Inc. (CFS) was founded in October 2006 for the purpose of attracting finance for carbon sequestration projects.  CFS is incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, and conducts forestation activities in Poland through its’ wholly owned subsidiary company CO2 Reduction Poland Sp. z o.o.

CO2 Reduction Poland mainly acts as an aggregator and cultivator of lands, thus collecting together areas that are fragmented among many small owners and coordinating the planting of trees to complete forestation programs.

CFS is focusing on reducing carbon emissions through carbon sequestration projects in Europe and surrounding areas, by planting trees called afforestation or reforestation. Poland and neighbouring countries hold vast potential for land-use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) projects that qualify under Kyoto and post-Kyoto mechanisms as well as non-Kyoto schemes.  As a result, inactive or converted vacant land, including pasture or post-agricultural land is leased to CFS from land owners, usually for a period of 20 to 30 years.

Typically these areas are forested with an accepted and approved assortment of fast growing tree species to maximize carbon absorption in that region.  The carbon sequestration occurs naturally through photosynthesis, which is the process of using energy in sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into carbohydrates and oxygen.
