Planting trees is a nature-based way to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, however the effect may only be temporary in some cases. [1] [2]Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is a process in which carbon dioxide (CO 2) is removed from the atmosphere by deliberate human activities and durably stored in geological, terrestrial, or ocean reservoirs, or in products.
Direct air carbon capture and sequestration (DACCS) is the use of chemical or physical processes to extract CO 2 directly from the ambient air and putting the captured CO 2 into long-term storage. [118] In contrast to CCS, which captures emissions from a point source, DAC has the potential to remove carbon dioxide that is already in the atmosphere.

[4]: 168 [5] Carbon dioxide removal techniques remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and are part of climate change mitigation. Solar radiation modification is the reflection of some sunlight (solar radiation) back to space to cool the earth. [6] Some publications include passive radiative cooling as a climate engineering technology.
Carbon dioxide removal is achieved when ambient air makes contact with chemical media, typically an aqueous alkaline solvent [4] or sorbents. [5] These chemical media are subsequently stripped of CO 2 through the application of energy (namely heat), resulting in a CO 2 stream that can undergo dehydration and compression, while simultaneously ...
Carbon offsetting is a carbon trading mechanism that enables entities to compensate for offset greenhouse gas emissions by investing in projects that reduce, avoid, or remove emissions elsewhere. When an entity invests in a carbon offsetting program, it receives carbon credit or offset credit , which account for the net climate benefits that ...
Biochar carbon removal (also called pyrogenic carbon capture and storage) is a negative emissions technology. It involves the production of biochar through pyrolysis of residual biomass and the subsequent application of the biochar in soils or durable materials (e.g. cement, tar).
