  • Restoration of natural habitats involves restoring degraded ecosystems to their original state, such as reforestation or wetland restoration.
  • Artificial mixing of ocean layers is the process of injecting nutrients into deep water to stimulate phytoplankton growth and carbon absorption by marine organisms.
  • Ocean fertilization refers to adding iron or other nutrients to the oceans to promote algal blooms that absorb CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.
  • Artificial mixing of ocean layers is the process of artificially increasing nutrient levels in deep water by adding iron or other minerals from ships or aircraft.
  • Ocean fertilization refers to the addition of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus into oceans to stimulate algal growth, which can absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.
  • Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing CO2 emissions underground or underwater using various methods.
  • Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing large amounts of CO2 underground or underwater using geological formations like saline aquifers or basaltic rocks.
  • Renewable energy sources include wind power, solar power, hydroelectricity, tidal power, wave power, biomass, and biofuels.
  • Afforestation is the planting of trees on land that was previously deforested or barren.
  • Urea can be used as an alternative to iron for ocean fertilization because it contains nitrogen, which is essential for plant growth.
  • The main types of carbon sequestration include geological storage (injecting CO2 into rock formations), oceanic storage (dissolving CO2 in seawater), and terrestrial storage (storing biomass on land).
  • Oceanic storage involves dissolving CO2 in seawater and releasing it at depths greater than 1000 meters below the sea floor.
  • Mineral carbonation involves reacting CO2 with minerals such as olivine or serpentine to produce solid carbonates that are less likely to release CO2 back into the atmosphere.
  • The use of urea instead of iron for ocean fertilization has been proposed due to its lower cost and potential benefits for marine ecosystems.
