Abstract

Sequester means to withdraw. Bio-sequestration implies sequestering via natural ways. Furthermore, Carbon sequestration, as the name suggests, involves in capturing carbon-di-oxide from the atmosphere. It‘s a long-term storage of carbon-di-oxide or other forms of carbon to either mitigate or defer global warming. The paper attempts to analyse the use of algae cultivation ponds as a technique for bio-sequestration of carbon and it‘s forms. Furthermore, the proposal to establish the same technique at Kota thermal Power Plant is considered as a case study to bring out the possibility and success factor of such a technology in India.
