Carbon sequestration is the process involved in carbon capture and the long-term storage of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2). Carbon sequestration describes long-term storage of carbon dioxide or other forms of carbon to either mitigate or defer global warming and avoid dangerous climate change.
The removal and storage of carbon from the atmosphere in carbon sinks (such as oceans, forests or soils) through physical or biological processes, such as photosynthesis. Humans have tried to increase carbon sequestration by growing new forests. Source: GreenFacts. More:
