CO2 Sinks

CO2 sinks are natural or artificial systems that absorb and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping reduce the greenhouse effect. Natural sinks include forests, which absorb CO2 through photosynthesis, and oceans, where CO2 dissolves into seawater and is stored in deep waters. Artificial sinks involve technologies like carbon capture and storage (CCS). These processes are vital for mitigating climate change by balancing the amount of CO2 emitted from human activities and maintaining a healthier atmospheric composition.
