Ferret Fact Service looks at the ways carbon storage can be done through natural processes, and how successfully we have protected them.

The climate crisis is already impacting Scotland, with more rainfall and higher temperatures being recorded in recent years.

Storing CO2 to prevent it from entering the atmosphere is central to the fight against climate change. The Scottish Government is backing technological projects to capture and store carbon from industrial sites.

However, there are also several ways that CO2 can be stored through natural processes. As part of our Solutions for Scotland project, Ferret Fact Service looked at the different ways to store carbon.
