What is Carbon Subduction?
Carbon subduction occurs when tectonic plates converge, forcing carbon stored in oceanic sediments and rocks deep into the Earth’s mantle. This process naturally sequesters carbon for millions of years, reducing its presence in the atmosphere and helping to balance Earth’s carbon cycle. We can harness this natural phenomenon to combat climate change. That’s the central idea we explore.
Our Mission
At CarbonSubduction.com, our mission is to:
- Educate: Provide clear, accessible information about how carbon subduction works and its potential as a climate mitigation strategy.
- Collaborate: Build a community of scientists, policymakers, and innovators to advance research and solutions for leveraging subduction zones for carbon sequestration.
- Advocate: Promote the exploration of carbon subduction as a key part of global climate action, alongside other carbon capture and storage technologies.
Why Carbon Subduction Matters
With rising CO2 levels and a warming climate, exploring all avenues for carbon storage is more urgent than ever. Carbon subduction could complement existing strategies by offering a natural, long-term solution for storing atmospheric carbon. This website will guide you through the possibilities and challenges of carbon subduction, shedding light on a future where nature’s forces work with us to protect the planet.
