An overarching term is carbon pool, which is all the places where carbon on Earth can be, i.e. the atmosphere, oceans, soil, florae, fossil fuel reservoirs and so forth. A carbon sink is a type of carbon pool that has the capability to take up more carbon from the atmosphere than it releases.
The Bosch reaction is a catalytic chemical reaction between carbon dioxide (CO 2) and hydrogen (H 2) that produces elemental carbon (C,graphite), water, and a 10% return of invested heat. CO 2 is usually reduced by H 2 to carbon in presence of a catalyst (e.g. iron (Fe)) and requires a temperature level of 530–730 °C (986–1,346 °F). [1] [2]
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.

Carbon farming is one component of climate-smart agriculture. It is also one way to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Agricultural methods for carbon farming include adjusting how tillage and livestock grazing is done, using organic mulch or compost, working with biochar and terra preta, and changing the crop types.
Explore how startups like Equatic and Climeworks are advancing carbon removal technologies as they offer innovative solutions like direct air capture.
Prometheus Fuels is a start-up company based in Santa Cruz which launched out of Y Combinator in 2019 to remove CO 2 from the air and turn it into zero-net-carbon gasoline and jet fuel. [ 97 ] [ 98 ] The company uses a DAC technology, adsorbing CO 2 from the air directly into process electrolytes, where it is converted into alcohols by ...
Enhanced weathering, also termed ocean alkalinity enhancement when proposed for carbon credit systems, is a process that aims to accelerate the natural weathering by spreading finely ground silicate rock, such as basalt, onto surfaces which speeds up chemical reactions between rocks, water, and air.
