1. Natural carbon capture mechanisms

1.1 Biogeochemical carbon cycle

On a global scale and depending on the compartments or reservoirs in which it is found, carbon is present in different forms: carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and oceans, organic carbon within the terrestrial biosphere and in lithospheric oil and coal deposits, and in carbonate mineral form in rocks, soils and sediments .
