CORRECTING THE ERRORS OF THE PAST: HOW CARBON SEQUESTRATION CAN HELP US
HOW DOES CARBON SEQUESTRATION WORK?
Put basically, carbon sequestration is the process of capturing carbon and putting it into long-term storage. Some methods of sequestration mimic and assist natural processes, such as returning biomass to soil through organic farming methods so that the soil can then absorb carbon, and nourishing the ocean with nitrogen or iron to encourage phytoplankton growth, which absorbs CO2.
For carbon to be sequestered artificially, it must first be captured and stored in a carbon sink, such as a disused oilfield (more on this later), or used in
