Underground CO2 storage: X-rays reveal carbon capture capacity of volcanic rocks
Capturing and storing carbon dioxide will be critical to avoiding the worst impacts of ...
Organ Pipes is one of the smallest national parks in Victoria, and the basalt volcanic columns are truly magnificent.
But basalt has one virtue that other geologic formations lack. In the laboratory, it can transform CO2 into calcium carbonate – the equivalent of seashells or limestone – in a matter of weeks or ...
In a recent paper published in Communications Earth & Environment, researchers explored geologic carbon dioxide (CO 2) mineralization in basalt formations, focusing on how complex carbonate phases ...
Living in the Yakima Valley, we hardly give basalt a second thought, even though it’s all around us. Three of Yakima’s churches are either built of it, or use it in their foundations. There are pieces ...
Wallula, Wash. – An injection of carbon dioxide, or CO2, has begun at a site in southeastern Washington to test deep geologic storage. Battelle researchers based at Pacific Northwest National ...
