Description
Carbon sequestration encompasses all the biological processes that enable the capture and storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. This article puts in perspective the potential of various bio-inspired technologies to mitigate anthropogenic CO2 emissions together with natural mechanisms leading to the formation of long-lasting carbon sinks. More specifically, an illustration of the biogeochemical carbon cycle is given so as to better assess the impact of those technologies in effectively providing long-term carbon sequestration and CO2 emission mitigation solutions
Abstract (French)
La biosequestration du carbone est la resultante d'activites metaboliques diverses au sein du vivant et consiste au piegeage, au stockage et a la retention du carbone hors de l'atmosphere. Cet article propose de mettre en perspective le potentiel de sequestration de carbone de diverses technologies bio-inspirees visant l'attenuation des emissions anthropogeniques de dioxyde de carbone (CO2) avec les mecanismes naturels aboutissant a un piegeage de carbone perenne. Plus particulierement, le cycle biogeochimique du carbone sera illustre afin d'evaluer l'impact de ces technologies a mitiger significativement et sur le long terme les emissions de CO2Additional details
