It Takes The Right Rock To Sequester Carbon


It Takes The Right Rock To Sequester Carbon
We know which rock is best for sequestering huge amounts of CO2 deep in the ground in a way that is stable for geologic time. It’s a particular vesicular volcanic rock, a basalt, that reacts with injected CO2 to precipitate new limestone-like rock. The real trick is that this method reduces the normal time to do this from a thousand years to two.
