Description

Overview:

Carbon management includes natural and technological solutions for removing ambient CO2 from the air or capturing CO2 emissions from industrial processes, and then using the CO2 or sequestering it so that it doesn't contribute to climate change. CO2 is naturally removed from the air through our environment by plants, soils, oceans, and wetlands. Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) enhances these biological processes or uses technology to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) uses technology to capture and store CO2 before it is released into the atmosphere. CDR and CCS are still in the early stages of commercialization and remain expensive forms of reducing CO2 in the atmosphere.
