Global carbon neutrality goals are accelerating the development of carbon sequestration technologies, yet natural and engineered approaches still face major challenges in multi-scale modeling, optimization and mechanistic understanding. This review systematically classifies key pathways—including forest, soil and ocean sinks for nature-based solutions and CCUS, enhanced weathering, mineral carbonation and DAC for engineered solutions—while identifying the complex characteristics of carbon systems such as nonlinearity and multi-source heterogeneity.
