The most significant benefit of CO2 storage in basalt, as opposed to sedimentary reservoirs, is the rapid mineralization of the CO2 into carbonate minerals.

20. jan. 2022 ... The CO2 will quickly react with the divalent cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, and Fe2+) from dissolving minerals in the basalt and form carbonate minerals.

Carbon mineralization is a trapping technique that can permanently store CO2 in reactive rocks such as basalt. Although this method has been known for a long ...

Fig 1. Geothermal field; conceptual model from Sæmundsson and Jónsdóttir (2010). Mineral storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in basaltic rocks offers the potential ...

9. okt. 2024 ... ERW with basalt could sequester billions of tons of CO₂ annually if scaled. – Soil Fertility: The slow release of nutrients like calcium, ...

20. mars 2020 ... Basalts Turn Carbon into Stone for Permanent Storage. Scientists have shown that mineral carbonation can permanently capture and store carbon ...

The study will help in choosing the most suitable type of basalt for the most promising CO 2 sequestration based on the percentage of reactive minerals.

3. feb. 2025 ... This study presents the first experimental evidence of H 2 generation during CO 2 sequestration in basalt under controlled subsurface conditions.

Abstract. Basaltic rocks are potential repositories for sequestering carbon dioxide (CO2) because of their capacity for trapping CO2 in carbonate minerals. We ...

6. apr. 2024 ... Laboratory and field studies have shown that basalt formations could be secure repositories for anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Specifically, the ...
