Carbon sequestration

LockedOut

In this section, you will learn about the two types of sequestration:

  • Geological sequestration – the separation and capture of CO2 at the point of emissions followed by storage in deep underground geologic formations (also known as carbon capture and storage or CCS)
  • Biological / terrestrial sequestration – the net removal of CO2 from the atmosphere by plants and micro-organisms and its storage in vegetative biomass (biological) and in soils (terrestrial)

Carbon sequestration is the process by which natural and artificial carbon dioxide sinks remove CO2 from the atmosphere that would otherwise persist for a long time.
