A release agent is anything that releases carbon or carbon dioxide. One example of a release agent is a forest fire because when anything burns, carbon dioxide is released. Another example of a release agent is an erupting volcano. Up to 40% of the gases released by volcanoes is carbon dioxide. It is estimated that volcanoes release about 130 - 230 million tons of carbon dioxide into the air each year. Another example is when when a base is combined with an acid to produce a type of salt. For example, baking soda and vinegar releases carbon dioxide, which makes the solution bubble and "explode".
