Abstract
The imperative to address climate change has ushered in a growing interest in carbon sequestration as a mitigation strategy. While current methods offer some promise, they also come with a host of challenges, including technological limitations, environmental impacts, and economic barriers. This review paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the future prospects and recommendations for advancing carbon sequestration methods. Technological innovations are highlighted, particularly the advent of Direct Air Capture technologies, bioengineering for enhanced biological mitigation, and material science for more efficient storage. The policy landscape is discussed, emphasizing the need for robust carbon pricing mechanisms and international collaboration. Additionally, the paper identifies pressing areas for further research, such as long-term impact studies, the exploration of social and economic implications, and advances in monitoring and verification technologies. By synthesizing the emerging trends and potential strategies for overcoming current limitations, this paper aims to provide a cohesive roadmap for making carbon sequestration a viable and effective tool in the global effort to combat climate change.
