Natural Reservoirs and Mineral Sequestration
Natural reservoirs are environments like forests, oceans, or soil that naturally store carbon dioxide, helping regulate Earth's climate. Mineral sequestration involves capturing CO₂ and transforming it into stable minerals through chemical reactions, often deep underground, where it becomes part of solid rock. This process effectively removes CO₂ from the atmosphere long-term, reducing greenhouse gases and combating climate change. Both methods are vital in efforts to lower atmospheric carbon levels and mitigate global warming.
