| Open Access | FROM NATURE TO TECHNOLOGY: AN INSIGHT INTO CARBON SEQUESTRATION STRATEGIES
Sachin Rawat , Department of Applied Science & Humanities, National Institute of Foundry & Forge Technology, Hatia, Ranchi, IndiaAbstract
Carbon sequestration is a critical process in mitigating the impacts of climate change by reducing the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. This overview explores various carbon sequestration strategies, ranging from natural processes to advanced technological solutions. Natural methods, such as afforestation, reforestation, soil carbon storage, and oceanic absorption, play a vital role in sequestering carbon through ecosystems and biological processes. On the other hand, technological innovations, including direct air capture (DAC), bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), and carbon mineralization, offer scalable solutions for capturing CO2 on an industrial level. This paper highlights the potential, challenges, and integration of both natural and technological approaches, while emphasizing the importance of a balanced, multi-faceted approach to achieving long-term carbon reduction goals. By examining the strengths and limitations of each strategy, this overview aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the evolving landscape of carbon sequestration and its role in combating global warming.
