Carbon sequestration 

The process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO₂) to prevent it from entering the atmosphere and contributing to climate change. This can occur through natural or technological methods. 

 
There are two main types of carbon sequestration: 

• Natural sequestration: Involves the absorption and storage of CO₂ by forests, soil, wetlands and oceans. 

• Technological sequestration: Uses techniques such as Carbon capture and storage (CCS) or direct air capture (DAC) to remove CO₂ and store it underground or in long-lasting materials.
