Carbon Sequestration Techniques for Climate Change Mitigation Dequan Hao* Department of Forest Research, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong, China DESCRIPTION Climate change, driven largely by anthropogenic emissions of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2), poses significant challenges to global ecosystems and human societies. As efforts intensify to reduce emissions, carbon sequestration-removing CO2 from the atmosphere and storing it long-term-has emerged as a critical strategy for mitigating climate change. Carbon sequestration refers to the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide, thereby preventing its release into the atmosphere where it contributes to climate change. J For Res, Vol.13 Iss.3 No:1000515 1 Challenges and future directions Technological advancements: Continued research and development are essential to overcoming technological barriers and reducing costs associated with carbon sequestration techniques such as DAC and CCS. CONCLUSION Carbon sequestration techniques represent powerful tools in the fight against climate change, offering pathways to achieve net-zero emissions and limit global temperature rise.

Beyond the natural growth of plants, other terrestrial processes that sequester carbon include growth of replacement vegetation on cleared land, land-management practices that absorb carbon (*see below* Carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation), and increased growth due to elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and enhanced nitrogen deposition. Carbon sequestration occurs both naturally and as a result of anthropogenic activities and typically refers to the storage of carbon that has the immediate potential to become carbon dioxide gas. In response to growing concerns about climate change resulting from increased carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere, considerable interest has been drawn to the possibility of increasing the rate of carbon sequestration through changes in land use and forestry and also through geoengineering techniques such as carbon capture and storage. Anthropogenic activities such as the burning of fossil fuels have released carbon from its long-term geologic storage as coal, petroleum, and natural gas and have delivered it to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas.

Under the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, we at the U.S. Department of the Interior must complete national assessments of the potential of geological (underground) and biological (within soil and vegetation) carbon sequestration to mitigate greenhouse-gas emissions. We will use this assessment to develop strategies to enhance carbon storage in geologic formation and in plants and soil on our lands in a manner that supports our stewardship mission. These best-management practices will have the goals of mitigating climate change, restoring and improving the health of ecosystems, facilitating adaptation to climate change and providing green jobs. ## Was this page helpful?

Summary of stakeholder perspectives on a regional carbon sequestration program Vision • Regional in scale • Includes wide range of practices: trees, agriculture, prairie preservation • Accessible to all types of land owners (urban, rural, small and large) • Supports other community goals related to habitat protection, open space protection, cooling • Focuses on voluntary and incentive-based tools, including education and technical support, with some regulatory support • Coordinated with state efforts Opportunities • Develop a baseline estimate of carbon sequestered through existing land uses (agriculture, forests, prairies) to account for impact of land conversion • Develop outreach materials and provide technical assistance for various practices: regenerative agriculture, forest management (including extended rotations), urban tree preservation and landscaping • Connect to existing programs, like Transfer of Development Rights (TDR), Voluntary Stewardship Program (VSP), existing city tree programs • Develop more consistent/complementary tree protection policies and standards across partner jurisdictions • Regulatory reform to remove barriers to regenerative agriculture practices Concerns • Appropriate balance among different sequestration forms: ex., where reforestation potential overlaps with existing agricultural lands or prairie areas • Appropriate balance between tree protection in urban areas, need for dense urban development (another TCMP strategy), and residential development • Financial cost of programs and staff time • Lack of interest among landowners/land managers • Ongoing maintenance requirements of lands used to account for sequestration • How to keep all stakeholders involved in the process • Voluntary, flexible tools are preferred, but may not meet the need • More land use needs than available land • Focus on carbon sequestration will reduce action on carbon reduction, allowing continued emissions from polluting entities • Accounting, so carbon sequestration benefit is not counted more than once These interviews suggest there is considerable interest among potential community partners in activities that increase carbon sequestration, but that any future steps should carefully consider how those actions support other regional goals.
