If land with high stocks of carbon in its soil or in its vegetation is converted for the cultivation of raw materials for biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels, some of the stored carbon will generally be released into the atmosphere, leading to the formation of carbon dioxide (CO2).
I gcás ina gcomhshóitear talamh a bhfuil stoic charbóin arda ina ithir nó ina fhásra, chun amhábhair a shaothrú le haghaidh bithbhreoslaí, bithleachtanna agus breoslaí bithmhaise, de ghnáth scaoiltear cuid den charbón stóráilte san atmaisféar, agus foirmítear dé-ocsaíd charbóin (CO2) dá dheasca sin.
