What is carbon sequestration
Long term storage.
Removes co2 from source preventing it from going into atmosphere and then storing it in artificial / natural stores
Deep ocean / oil / gases refineries
Geological sequestration
Co2 captured at source (power plant) injected into liquid form to stores undergoing
Ocean sequestration
Ocean Absorbs more co2 then terrestrial systems
Sunk within weeks / months
Terrestrial sequestration
Uses plants to store co2 in stems / roots / soil
Could be released back in wild fire
Transport
Electric / hybrid cars
Public transport
Bike sharing schemes
Changing rural land use
To improve carbon stores and make sure soil store is greater than loss
Grassland
Croplland
Forest
Grassland
Stores 810 million tonnes co2
Add manure
Stop over grazing
Increase SOc
Forested land
Store co2
Natural sink
Photosynthesis
Increase SOC
