Carbonate sequestration

Carbonate sequestration is a process where carbon dioxide (CO2) is captured and stored to reduce its presence in the atmosphere, helping to combat climate change. CO2 can be trapped in solid forms, like calcium carbonate, through natural reactions with minerals or through human engineering methods. By converting CO2 into stable carbonates, we can potentially store it safely underground or use it in various applications, thus preventing it from contributing to global warming and helping to create a more sustainable environment. This approach aims to mitigate the impact of our emissions from industries and energy production.
