Schematic showing both terrestrial and geological sequestration of carbon dioxide emissions from a coal-fired plant. Carbon sequestration is the process involved in carbon capture and the long-term storage of atmospheric carbon dioxide. 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. It has been proposed as a way to slow the atmospheric and marine accumulation of greenhouse gases, which are released by burning fossil fuels.
The main types of carbon sequestration include: increased storage in vegetation and soils, geological storage, ocean storage and mineral storage. Some methods are currently being used and others are propositions and have yet to be applied.
