Carbon Sequestration: An Essential Approach to Addressing Climate Change

The capture and retention of atmospheric CO₂ are some of the important actions that can be taken against climate change: carbon sequestration. It can be biological, geological, or technological. Biological sequestration mainly involves such natural ecosystems as forests, soils, and oceans absorbing CO₂. Geological sequestration captures the CO₂ and stores it at depths in the earth, thus preventing it from being emitted into the atmosphere. Technological methods include direct air capture and carbon mineralization; they present new situations on reducing the emissions. The study investigates the effectiveness, challenges, and potentialities of various carbon sequestration methods to reduce global carbon levels. The findings indicate that none of these approaches alone will ensure a long-lasting climate stabilization or greenhouse gas concentration reduction.
