What is carbon sequestration?

Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide.

What are the main types of carbon sequestration?

The main types of carbon sequestration are biological, geological, and technological.

How does biological carbon sequestration work?

Biological sequestration involves the absorption of CO2 by plants during photosynthesis, converting it into organic carbon.

What role do oceans play in carbon sequestration?
