Carbon Sequestration is the removal and storage of carbon from the atmosphere in carbon sinks (such as oceans, forests or soils) through physical or biological processes, such as photosynthesis. It can be performed in many ways, some of which include: Mineral sequestration; traps carbon by placing it in its thermodynamics ground state where it will be nonreactive. Injecting into deep saline aquifers, Saline aquifers are underground formations containing brine or salt water that is not suitable for agricultural purposes or for drinking. Ocean Fertilization: Ocean phytoplanktons take up carbon dioxide to grow, and that this growth can be stimulated in certain ocean basins. They are also simpler ways to capture carbon for example Tree planting, grass planting, organic matter. PH reduction, reduces climate change, carbonate dissolution are its environmental impacts. It is expensive and different programs have different costs. We produce a lot of CO2 today in many forms through the process we use to produce our daily needs. In order to reduce green house gases we can use the new advanced CCS method, which is known to capture and store CO2. The largest sources of carbon are fossil fuel power plants and factories.
The CCS has been significant in that it has so far been successful and it can reduce global warming thus reducing climate change in the environment. CCS will strengthen our economy and will reduce our environmental foot print .Although it may be expensive, it can be seen as a reduction of poverty because of the financial subsidies provided by the central government. It is now our time to take over and do as we please considering what carbon does for us and what we do for it. All we need is to agree and to take action to our path to the future.
