What is Carbon Capture in the Natural Environment and How does it Occur?

What is Carbon Capture?
Carbon capture is the process of removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the Earth’s atmosphere and storing it.

How can it occur?
Carbon capture can occur both naturally and artificially. Advances in technology are enabling carbon released by industrial activities to be captured in even greater volumes by anthropogenic means. However, carbon capture happens on the biggest scale in the natural environment. 

What is the issue with carbon?
Carbon dioxide is one of the main greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. Carbon dioxide molecules in the atmosphere absorb long-wavelength infrared energy (heat) from the Earth then re-radiate it.. Read more
