    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_sequestration

    Carbon sequestration is the process of storing carbon in a carbon pool. [2]: 2248 It plays a crucial role in limiting climate change by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. There are two main types of carbon sequestration: biologic (also called biosequestration) and geologic. [3]

  3. What is carbon sequestration? | U.S. Geological Survey - USGS.gov

    www.usgs.gov/faqs/what-carbon-sequestration

    Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide. It is one method of reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere with the goal of reducing global climate change.

  4. What is Carbon Sequestration and How Does it Work?

    clear.ucdavis.edu/explainers/what-carbon-sequestration

    Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing, securing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The idea is to stabilize carbon in solid and dissolved forms so that it doesn’t cause the atmosphere to warm. The process shows tremendous promise for reducing the human “carbon footprint.”

  5. Carbon sequestration | Definition, Methods, & Climate Change

    www.britannica.com/technology/carbon-sequestration

    Carbon sequestration, the long-term storage of carbon in plants, soils, geologic formations, and the ocean. In response to concerns about climate change resulting from increased carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere, interest has been drawn to geoengineering techniques such as carbon capture and storage.

  6. DOE Explains...Carbon Sequestration | Department of Energy

    www.energy.gov/science/doe-explainscarbon-sequestration

    Carbon sequestration refers to the storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) after it is captured from industrial facilities and power plants or removed directly from the atmosphere. Those captured CO2 emissions are then safely transported and permanently stored in geologic formations.

  7. What Is Carbon Sequestration? - IBM

    www.ibm.com/think/topics/carbon-sequestration

    Carbon sequestration is the active process of capturing and transferring atmospheric carbon dioxide into long-term storage reservoirs. It's a dynamic action that removes CO 2 from the atmosphere.

  8. Soil-Based Carbon Sequestration - MIT Climate Portal

    climate.mit.edu/explainers/soil-based-carbon-sequestration

    Soil-based carbon sequestration is a way to remove CO2 from the air and store it somewhere it can’t easily escape: in soils, which store carbon in the form of broken-down plant matter.

  9. 7 Things to Know About Carbon Capture, Utilization and ...

    www.wri.org/insights/carbon-capture-technology

    Carbon capture, utilization and sequestration (also known as carbon capture and storage) reduces carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere and stores it.

    What is carbon dioxide capture and sequestration? Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) capture and sequestration (CCS) is a set of technologies that can greatly reduce CO 2 emissions from new and existing coal- and gas-fired power plants and large industrial sources.
