Metals Supercharge Promising Method to Bury Harmful Carbon Dioxide Under the Sea

Tue, 21 Sep 2021 18:40:13 -0500

There's a global race to reduce the amount of harmful gases in our atmosphere to slow down the pace of climate change, and one way to do that is through carbon capture and sequestration — sucking carbon out of the air and burying it. At this point, however, we're capturing only a fraction of the carbon needed to make any kind of dent in climate change. Researchers from The University of Texas at Austin, in partnership with ExxonMobil, have have found a way to supercharge the formation of carbon dioxide-based crystal structures that could someday store billions of tons of carbon under the ocean floor for centuries, if not forever.
