Carbon dioxide removal is a process in which carbon dioxide is removed from Earth's atmosphere by deliberate human activities and durably stored in geological, terrestrial, or marine reservoirs, or in

…the atmosphere, thereby adding to greenhouse gas emissions. The methods for blue carbon management fall into the category of "ocean-based biological carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods". They are a type of biological carbon fixation. Scientists are looking for ways to further develop the blue carbon potential of ecosystems…
Planting trees is a nature-based way to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; however, the effect may only be temporary in some cases.
