Nature-Based Solutions: Land and Ocean Sinks
CDR encompasses myriad techniques and technologies: direct air capture, carbon storage and sequestration in natural basins, bioenergy with carbon capture, reforestation, carbon-friendly soil management practices, ocean enhancement, and many more. Each method has different rates of CO2 uptake, land requirements, energy demands, storage permanence,... See more

A technique known as “enhanced weathering” is a sort of upside-down version of the project I toured at the Hellisheiði Power Station. Instead of injecting CO2 deep into rock, the idea is to bring the rock up to the surface to meet the CO2. Basalt
