Carbon sequestration is a process by which carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere and stored in various reservoirs, such as oceans, forests, and soil, in order to mitigate the effects of climate change. This can be done through natural processes, such as photosynthesis in plants, or through technological methods like carbon capture and storage (CCS). The goal of carbon sequestration is to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, ultimately helping to combat global warming and its associated impacts.
