Ideas have been proposed to remove CO2 directly from the atmosphere.
Iron Fertilization:
1.Supertankers
would spread millions of tons of iron over the ocean
surface.
2.The iron stimulates growth
of algae which consume carbon dioxide from the ocean
surface as they grow.
3.When
the algae and the organisms that consume them die, they
sink to the sea floor, taking the carbon with them.
4.The
ocean draws more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to replace
what the algae took from its surface.
Carbon
Sequestration:
These
techniques would involve removing the CO2 as it’s emitted
from a power plant and either injecting it directly into the
deep ocean or burying it deep in the ground.
