What is carbon sequestration?

Carbon sequestration refers to the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere in order to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and mitigate the effects of global warming. This is done through a variety of techniques, including storage in geological reservoirs, use in industrial processes and agriculture, and capture and storage in forests and oceans.

One of the main techniques for carbon sequestration is storage in geological reservoirs, where CO2 is captured and injected into deep geological formations, such as salt formations, so that it can be stored permanently. Another common technique is capture and storage in forests, where trees and other plants absorb CO2 from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and store it in their biomass.

O carbon sequestration is an important strategy to reduce CO2 emissions and combat global warming. However, there are significant challenges associated with these techniques, including economic and environmental costs, as well as safety and regulatory issues. Still, the carbon sequestration remains a growing area of ​​research and development, with many companies and governments working to develop new techniques and solutions.
