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.
âSoil organic carbon sequestration is currently defined as the process of transferring COâ from the atmosphere into the soil through plants, plant residues, and other organic solids that are stored or retained as part of the soil organic matter (humus).
