Scientists in Iceland are turning carbon dioxide into stone by injecting it into volcanic rock, and it could redefine the fight against climate change
- Edda Sif Pind Aradottir, a chemical and reservoir engineer and CEO of Carbfix, holds a sample of basalt rock at the Carbfix site in Iceland.
- Scientists in Iceland are demonstrating a groundbreaking way to tackle climate change by permanently turning carbon dioxide (CO₂) into stone deep beneath the Earth's surface.
- Instead of storing captured CO₂ as compressed gas, researchers dissolve it in water before injecting it into porous basalt, a volcanic rock rich in minerals.
