Carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation

Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide. It is one method of reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere with the goal of reducing global climate change. The USGS is conducting assessments on two major types of carbon sequestration: geologic and biologic

Soil Carbon sequestration is one of the paths that can contribute significantly to carbon neutrality in the future while benefiting the agricultural sector. Increasing soil organic matter, for example by increased plants root systems and allowing for the formation of extensive biofilms, improves soil structure and reduces erosion, leading to improved water quality in groundwater and surface waters, and ultimately to increased food security and decreased negative impacts to ecosystems. Even if it is difficult to put a dollar figure on the benefit of carbon sequestration, done the right way it can deliver tremendous economic benefit through sustainable increased agricultural production both qualitatively and quantitatively. 

Research into the associated relationship between mitochondria and chloroplast is expected to reveal significant efficiency improvements to both protein folding and carbon sequestration and the creation of biomass above and below the ground.
