description The worsening climate crisis, primarily driven by anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, poses significant risks to ecosystems and human society. Accordingly, this essay explores carbon sequestration as an effective complement to traditional carbon reduction strategies, with a particular focus on biological carbon sequestration. Key findings reveal that afforestation offers a cost-effective option, while marine-based methods, such as the biological pump, exhibit higher efficiency and lower competition for land. The WhaleX project is analyzed as a case study, highlighting the potential of human interventions to amplify natural carbon removal processes. Additionally, the analysis of seaweed farming and AI integration demonstrates how innovative methods and technologies can enhance the efficiency of carbon sequestration while generating external benefits. This study provides a roadmap for sustainable carbon mitigation, offering solutions to bridge gaps in global climate action.
