The only species that I am aware of that removes atmospheric CO2 are various types of plants. They remove the CO2 through a process called photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (Sunlight) ® C6H12O6 + 6O2. Aerobic respriation which is performed by many species is the opposite of photosynthesis and actually contributes to the addition of CO2 in the atmosphere. Anaerobic respiration: Glucose (Broken down to) →Energy (ATP) + Ethanol + Carbon dioxide (CO2) or Glucose (Broken down to) →Energy (ATP) + Lactic acid. As you can see this form of respiration also contributes to the realease of CO2 into the atmosphere. Also, plants contribute to the release of CO2 in the atmosphere when they die or when deforestation occurs, and also when they perform respiration at night. However, they remove more CO2from the atmosphere through photosynthesis than they release through respiration.
