Will Carbon Sequestration increase ocean acidification?
Only if it is sequestered in the ocean. Carbon sequestration usually means storing the carbon dioxide underground in permanent water-and gas-tight reservoirs. This is a bold plan, but it has not yet been done successfully.
What is the difference between carbon sinks and sequestration?
Carbon sequestration refers to the process of capture and long term storage of the atmospheric carbon dioxide. The carbon sink refers to the natural or artificial reservoir that accumulates and stores some carbon-containing chemical compound for an indefinite period.
What has the author Ralph Fitzgerand written?
Ralph Fitzgerand has written: 'Geologic carbon dioxide storage' -- subject(s): Geological carbon sequestration
How carbon sequestration can be considered as an ecosystem service?
It offsets all the carbon we and other animals in the ecosystem exhale. Carbon from the emitted carbon dioxide is taken and used for energy (glucose) production in plants. These plants emit oxygen as waste which we inhale and use for metabolism. This is essentially the carbon and oxygen cycle in our ecosystem but there are other major players as well as other important cycles (like the water and nitrogen cycles) that are intertwined with carbon sequestration. Additionally, carbon sequestration is responsible for lowering atmospheric carbon monoxide levels as well as methane and carbon dioxide levels; two important greenhouse gases.
What method is preventing the escape into the atmosphere of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel power plants?
ScrubbingClean coal captureCarbon sequestration
What is soil carbon sequestration?
Soil carbon sequestration is a process that is being used to try to to 'store' all the extra carbon that is being released into the atmosphere. There are lots of different ideas about how to do it. One way they are trying to do is by turning biomass into charcoal (which retains the CO2). The charcoal is then plowed into agricultural soil, burying the carbon dioxide.
Where does carbon sequestration occur?
Carbon sequestration is part of the carbon cycle, so it could be said that is where it occurs. The carbon cycle refers to the circulation of carbon atoms in the biosphere.
Is pumping carbon into the ocean carbon sequestration?
No, carbon sequestration is a plan to capture carbon dioxide from fossil fuel power plants before it reaches the atmosphere, compress it and pump it underground into supposedly secure locations where it will remain forever and never escape. The owners of the fossil fuel power plants, who desperately want to continue burning coal, are particularly hopeful that this plan will work.
Can carbon sequestration reduce global warming?
because when you breathe in oxygen it comes back out as carbon dioxide so if more trees are being cut down (deforestation) then how will we produce carbon dioxide because we don't have no oxygen. The whole point is oxygen comes from trees.
What different methods of carbon sequestration?

What is the steps for oxygen to become carbon dioxide?
Oxygen already travels in the molecular form of O2 so it is stable. All it needs is one carbon to become Carbon Dioxide, or CO2.
Why might it be better to administer combination of oxygen and carbon dioxide rather than pure oxygen?
This invention relates to a method for the reduction of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by mode of combustion in boilers using a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide or, preferably, a mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide as the combustion oxidant. This mode of combustion generates carbon flue gas that is easy to capture, concentrate, and via chemical or biological utilization or ocean or geologic sequestration. Carbon dioxide is believed to cause global warming. The invention also relates to the production of nitrogen from air as a chemical feedstock for the production of ammonia. invention relates to a method for the reduction of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by mode of combustion in boilers using a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide or, preferably, a mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide as the combustion oxidant.
