**1) Carbon sequestration** is the capture of [|carbon dioxide] ( CO2 ) and may refer specifically to:"**And what about carbon sequestration too? What’s that and how does it work?”**


 * "The process of removing carbon from the atmosphere and depositing it in a reservoir."[|[][|1][|]] When carried out deliberately, this may also be referred to as [|carbon dioxide removal], which is a form of [|geoengineering].media type="youtube" key="9Cqi4SHqewQ" height="389" width="448" align="right"

> Alright. We’re back to Professor Saar’s research. **Ready to know just how he plans to sequester carbon in geothermal energy production?**
 * “**The process of [|carbon capture and storage], where carbon dioxide is removed from [|flue gases], such as on [|power stations], before being stored in underground reservoirs.
 * Natural [|biogeochemical cycling] of [|carbon] between the [|atmosphere] and reservoirs, such as by [|chemical weathering]of rocks.

Bonus! Courtesy [|Department of Energy] Carbon sequestration includes carbon (usually in the form of carbon dioxide, CO2) capture, separation, transportation, and storage or reuse. Plants, which “breathe” CO2, naturally sequester carbon, but people have found ways to do it artificially too. When fossil fuels are burned to power your car or heat your home, they emit CO2, a greenhouse gas partially responsible for global climate change. It is possible to capture those emissions, separate the bad CO2, and transport it somewhere for storage or beneficial reuse. CO2 can be stored in under the Earth’s surface or, according to Martin Saar’s research, used in geothermal energy production.
