In a general sense, such processes are referred to as carbon dioxide sequestration or mitigation (Fig. 8.17):
Geological sequestration – capture of carbon dioxide from the stack gases, and pumping it into 'safe' reservoirs on land or in the oceans
Biological sequestration – growing vegetation in quantities large enough to consume amounts of carbon dioxide equivalent to that released during energy consumption. The vegetation (biomass) that is produced can itself be used as a fuel, creating a closed production/consumption cycle.
