Biology is a powerful tool for decarbonization.

Carbon capture and sequestration

Plants and trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. Biological organisms such as algae capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into biomass. This process, known as biosequestration, can help reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Bioenergy

Biomass can be used to generate electricity, heat, and fuel. This includes using agricultural waste, wood chips, and other organic materials to produce energy.

Bioremediation

Bacteria and fungi can be used to clean up contaminated soil and water. These organisms break down pollutants, reducing the impact of pollution on the environment.
