• Key Concepts: 
  Pollutant sequestration is a process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. It is a form of carbon capture and storage (CCS) that involves capturing CO2 from the air and storing it in a secure location, such as underground geological formations, oceans, or other natural sinks. This process helps to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, thus helping to mitigate climate change.
