Basaltic Rocks in Iceland Effective Sinks for Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide (1 of 4)

image: CarbFix I pilot CO2 injection site during wireline diamond drilling to recover a 150 m of core from the CO2 storage reservoir in 2014 (~2 years after CO2 injection). Steam emissions from the Hellisheidi geothermal powerplant are visible in the background. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the June 10, 2016, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by J.M. Matter at University of Southampton in Southampton, UK, and colleagues was titled, "Rapid carbon mineralization for permanent disposal of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions." view more
