Carbon Sequestration Explained: How Nature Captures Carbon

Research into carbon sequestration could offer answers on how we can store carbon in the ground and not in our atmosphere where it can warm our planet. Carbon exists on Earth in solid, dissolved, and gaseous forms. Carbon dioxide, CO2, is a powerful heat-trapping gas produced both in nature and by human activity.

What is Carbon Sequestration and How Does it Work?

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.” There are two main types of carbon sequestration: biological and geological.
