Solid Carbon: A Climate Mitigation Partnership Advancing Stable Negative Emissions
Solid Carbon is an project to permanently and safely sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) as rock. The vision is to extract CO2 directly from the air or ocean. Then, using deep ocean technology powered by ocean-based wind and solar energy, inject the CO2 into the subseafloor basalt, where it mineralizes into solid carbonate rock. A PICS (Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions) Theme Partnership – Project; began October 1, 2019 with project Duration of four years. Lead PI: Dr. David S. Goldberg; a new explainer video is relased.
