Overview

Carbon sequestration is the capture and long-term storage of carbon, particularly atmospheric carbon dioxide, to reduce its concentration in the atmosphere and mitigate climate change. It encompasses both engineered approaches, in which carbon dioxide is captured from emission sources or the air and stored in geological formations, and biological or terrestrial approaches, in which carbon is fixed and retained in vegetation and soils. Soil and agricultural systems are a major focus of terrestrial sequestration. Practices such as retaining crop residues, conservation tillage, and managing organic matter increase the carbon held in soil, simultaneously improving soil fertility and structure and counteracting land degradation. In this way carbon sequestration is closely linked to sustainable agriculture and to the broader nexus connecting climate change, soil health, and food security, especially in semi-arid and degraded landscapes where building soil carbon yields both climatic and agronomic benefits. Geological and industrial pathways store captured carbon dioxide in deep formations, and related subsurface injection techniques are used in enhanced recovery operations. Across these strategies, the central challenges are maximizing the amount of carbon stored, ensuring its permanence, and verifying net climate benefit. Carbon sequestration therefore sits at the intersection of chemistry, soil and environmental science, and agriculture, offering complementary tools for reducing the accumulation of greenhouse gases.
