We need to advance to higher organisms, to sequester the excess carbon for the millennial time-frames required.

White tempering is used to burn off excess carbon, by heating it for extended amounts of time in an oxidizing environment.

And during the steelmaking process the excess carbon is burnt off by injecting what gas into the molten iron?

They consist of much more than a flow of excess carbon here, or some scattered hydroxyl molecules there.

In this case, it was released when the boiler malfunctioned after getting blocked up with excess carbon, said Shawn Rosvold, a spokesman for KeySpan.

This may disturb global hydrological cycles, release vast amounts of green house gases into the atmosphere, and lessen the planet's ability to store excess carbon.

The global biosphere has been helping to offset some of the excess carbon dioxide people have been pumping into the atmosphere.

When waters become saturated with carbon, the excess carbon will have nowhere to go because the currents are not bringing up enough fresh water to fix the excess.

The excess carbon and other impurities are removed in a subsequent step.

For example, many bacteria store excess carbon in the form of polyhydroxyalkanoates or glycogen.
