Description
A study on how to permanently and safely store CO2 below the ocean floor. The goal is to capture CO2 from the atmosphere and inject it into young (less than 15 million years old) porous basalt rock, such as that found in the Cascadia Basin off the west coast of Canada, where it would interact with minerals, transforming into carbonate rock.
The basin was also studied in 2018 as part of the Cascadia CarbonSAFE project.
