Carbon Sequestration Pioneers in Southern
Philippines Aim for Synergy
by Mike Banos
‘Carbon sequestration’ is the term used to describe
processes that remove carbon from the atmosphere, for
instance, through the use of carbon sinks. A variety of
man-made means of capturing and storing carbon, as well as
of enhancing natural sequestration processes, are now being
explored to help mitigate global warming. The Mindanao
Coal-Fired Power Plant of STEAG State Power Inc. (SPI) has
adopted carbon sequestration as one of its measures to
protect the environment.
