What Is Geologic Carbon Sequestration?

Geologic (Subsurface) carbon sequestration is a powerful climate solution that allows us to dispose of carbon dioxide (CO₂) deep underground, keeping it out of the atmosphere for thousands of years.

  • CO₂ is captured from industrial sources or the air

  • It’s compressed and injected into deep rock formations like saline aquifers or depleted oil fields

  • These formations are sealed by impermeable rock layers that trap the CO₂

Why It Matters:
This method can dispose of billions of tons of CO₂ and is essential for reaching net-zero goals.
