Chemistry World October 5, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	Air, Can we Have Our Carbon Back? Sucking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is outlandishly expensive. But a US scientist who has just worked out how to improve its efficiency predicts it will be necessary before the end of the century.

Geotimes March 2003	Demonstrating Carbon Sequestration Estimates are that human activity emits 7 billion tons of carbon dioxide a year. One proposed method for reducing how much of the greenhouse gas ends up in the atmosphere is to store the carbon dioxide underground. Natural reservoirs of the gas exist, suggesting that it is feasible.

Julio Friedmann	Storing Carbon in Earth Carbon sequestration is capturing carbon dioxide, either from the atmosphere or emission streams, and storing it in reservoirs, such as plants or soils. Carbon dioxide could be converted to solid chemicals or injected into the deep ocean. Though there are risks, the potential pay-off is enormous.
