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.
Terrestrial sequestration involves the capture and storage of carbon dioxide by plants and the storage of carbon in soil.During photosynthesis, carbon from atmospheric carbon dioxide is transformed into components necessary for plants to live and grow.errestrial sequestration involves the collection and storage of carbon dioxide by plants and the storage of carbon in soil.
