Carbon Capture Use and Storage (CCUS) aims to put carbon dioxide captured from industries such as cement production to an alternative use, such as a feedstock for manufacturing products, where the carbon is then stored.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a technology proposed for the removal of carbon dioxide, which aims to capture CO2 emitted from processes such as the combustion of fossil fuels and store it underground.
Biochar is produced through pyrolysis, a process where biomass combustion occurs in a low oxygen environment at very high temperatures. It results in a solid carbon-rich charcoal-like substance, which can be mixed into soil where it is theoretically stored.
Enhanced weathering techniques involve spreading large amounts of crushed rocks (particularly silicate minerals) onto farmland or beaches, or dumping them into the sea, in order to react with and fix atmospheric carbon dioxide into the oceans and soils.
Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) involves capturing carbon dioxide from bioenergy applications and then storing it deep in geological formations or using it to manufacture products.
By thinning cirrus clouds (wispy, elongated high-altitude clouds), some researchers have proposed that more heat could be allowed to escape into space, thereby cooling the climate.
