Concept understanding — Carbon Sequestration and Carbon Footprint

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is an engineered technology capturing CO2 from large industrial/power-plant sources and storing it away from the atmosphere — injected 1 km+ underground into geological formations (declining oil/gas fields, saline aquifers, unmineable coal), stored as liquid in the ocean, or converted to stable solid carbonates. This complements natural carbon sequestration by plants, soil and oceans — microalgae (Chlorella, Scenedesmus, Chroococcus, Chlamydomonas), certain trees (Eugenia caryophyllata, Tecoma stans, Cinnamomum verum), macroalgae, marine grasses and mangroves are all noted for high sequestration capacity. Carbon Footprint (CFP) is the total greenhouse gases an individual, organisation or nation generates (agriculture, industry, deforestation, waste, fossil fuels), usually expressed in equivalent tonnes CO2/year; diet, electronics use, travel and processed/imported food all shift it measurably, with beef and lamb carrying the highe …
