Preferred term

carbon sequestration  

Definition

  • Carbon sequestration is the biological, physical, and chemical capture and long-term storage of carbon, usually from carbon dioxide (CO2), so as to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prevent those that are produced from contributing to climate change. CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is increasing primarily due to the combustion of fossil fuels—in particular, coal—and also oil and natural gas.
