When plants decompose or are burnt, they release the carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) they had absorbed from the atmosphere. One idea to prevent this CO 2 being released back into the atmosphere is to bury the waste biomass under conditions that prevent or slow decomposition, thereby trapping the carbon underground for centuries.
