Restoration of natural habitats involves restoring degraded ecosystems to their original state, such as reforestation or wetland restoration.
Artificial mixing of oceanlayers is the process of injecting nutrients into deepwater 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 oceanlayers 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 carbondioxide 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.
