ABSTRACT
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) provides a solution toward decarbonization of the global economy. The success this depends on ability to safely permanently store CO2 This study demonstrates for first time permanent disposal as environmentally benign carbonate minerals in basaltic rocks. We find that over 95% injected into CarbFix site Iceland was mineralized less than 2 years. result contrasts with common view immobilization within geologic reservoirs takes several hundreds thousands Our results, therefore, demonstrate safe long-term anthropogenic emissions through mineralization can be far faster previously postulated.
