Sequestration

Carbon Sequestration
A process that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through a variety of means of capturing and storing carbon. Plants and other organisms play a critical role in natural sequestration when they carry out photosynthesis.

Carbon Sequestration Can Help Mitigate Carbon Dioxide Emissions
On the technological front, ...

sequestration A chemical complexing (forming or joining together) of metallic cations (such as iron) with certain inorganic compounds, such as phosphate. Sequestration prevents the precipitation of the metals (iron). Also see chelation.

sequestration = (as defined in NCOS) the removal of atmospheric carbon dioxide, either through biological processes (for example, photosynthesis in plants and trees), or geological processes (for example, ...

Sequestration is where carbon dioxide is absorbed from the atmosphere and stored by soil or trees. These areas are called "sinks" (see below).

sequestration : The inhibition or stoppage of normal ion behavior by combination with added materials, especially the prevention of metallic ion precipitation from solution by formation of a coordination complex with a phosphate.

geosequestration: a process to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere; a variety of sequestration methods, including removing carbon from flue gases, condensing it to a liquid then pumping it underground for storage, are being explored.

Carbon Sequestration (B):
Carbon sequestration is the uptake and storage of carbon. Trees can be used for carbon sequestration because they absorb carbon dioxide, release the oxygen and store the carbon ...

C carbon sequestration
Definition (english only)
The uptake and storage of carbon. Trees and plants, for example, absorb carbon dioxide, release the oxygen and store the carbon.

carbon sequestration Capturing CO₂ from a manufacturing process or from the air and locking it away in such a way it can’t act as a greenhouse gas. Trees do this naturally by locking up the carbon in the form of wood.

Various other strategies include development of new technologies, wind power, nuclear power, renewable energy, biodiesel, electric cars (and hybrids), and fuel cells, Energy conservation, carbon taxes and carbon sequestration schemes.
