CARBON SEQUESTRATION: -

The process of trapping carbon from the atmosphere is called as carbon sequestration.

Honey bees build their hives by trapping carbon from the atmosphere. The main composition of bee wax is C40 and C46. This can be easily obtained from the atmosphere by honey bees.

When bees build many hives then the carbon dioxide intensity will be reduced.

This bee wax can be used in the factories’ chimneys to reduce the intensity of CO2 expelled. This bee wax can be used as filters in chimneys and thereby it can really control air pollution.

It can also be used to coat the false ceilings like asbestos, thermo Cole etc. If it is done so then the room temperature will be reduced naturally. Thus the air conditioners are not required if this method is followed. As a result the emissions of Chloro fluoro carbons (CFC), Hydro Chloro fluoro carbons (HCFC) will be decreased which is causing the ozone depletion.
