Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide to mitigate its impact on climate change. This can be done through natural processes like afforestation or using technologies like direct air capture. It helps reduce the overall carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

Artificial carbon sequestration involves using technologies to capture and store carbon dioxide from industrial processes or directly from the atmosphere. Methods include carbon capture and storage (CCS) in power plants or industrial facilities, and direct air capture (DAC) technologies. These aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change by preventing the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
