Iceland Carbon Dioxide Storage Project Locks Away Gas, and Fast
Researchers report success in an experiment that keeps a gas tied to global warming out of the atmosphere permanently.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcite
"One key to the approach is to find the right kind of rocks. Volcanic rocks called basalts are excellent for this process, because they are rich in calcium, magnesium and iron, which react with CO2."
"There
are still concerns about whether the technology will prove useful in
the fight against global warming. For one thing, it would have to be
scaled up enormously. For another, a lot of water is needed — 25 tons of
it for every ton of CO2 — along with the right kind of rock.
But
the researchers say that there is enough porous basaltic rock around,
including in the ocean floors and along the margins of continents. And
siting a sequestration project in or near the ocean could potentially
solve the water problem at the same time, as the researchers say
seawater would work just fine."
This method is not going to save coal as a fuel.
It will get Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory a string of large grants.
