Which process removes carbon from the air in the carbon cycle?

Photosynthesis-photosynthesis occurs in plants, algae, and many species of bacteria. plants usually convert light into chemical energy with a photosynthetic efficiency of 36%. actual plants photosynthetic efficiency varies with the frequency of the light being converted, light intensity, temperature and proportion of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and can vary from 0.1% to 8%. by comparison, solar panels convert light into electric energy at an efficiency of approximately 620% for mass-produced panels, and up to 41% in a research laboratory. deforestation is a significant threat to our planets ability to organically capture and store co2 released form burning fossil fuels and previously sequestered for millions of years. the ipcc estimates that non organic carbon capture and storage may be able to mitigate between 10 and 55% of total co2 emitted until 2100. ccs is energy demanding and up to 40% of the energy generated by a power station may be required to store generated co2.
