The world's first "negative emission" power station: transforming carbon dioxide into a stone

According to foreign media reports, following the construction of the world’s first commercial Direct Air Capture (DAC) plant to extract air from carbon dioxide, the Swiss company Climeworks and Ireland’s first geothermal power plant have launched the world’s first “negative emission” power plant. In recent years, this team of scientists from various countries has been looking for ways to turn carbon dioxide into solid minerals.

They called this project CarbFix. The scientists discharged carbon dioxide into the water and sent it to the 700-meter underground with a water pump. Carbon dioxide minerals could be quickly formed when the carbon dioxide solution came into contact with the underground basalt.

Prior to this discovery, this mineralization process was thought to require hundreds of years and even thousands of years, but the CarbFix team was surprised to find that it could be shortened to two years.

According to Dr. Juerg Matter, lead author of the CarbFix project, the results show that 95% to 98% of the injected carbon dioxide can be mineralized within less than two years.

The Climaworks DAC technology and the CarbFix mineralization process can not only achieve zero emissions but even negative emissions.

Climeworks CEO Christoph Geblad said that their technology can be said to have great potential. Not only in Ireland, but also in many other places in the world, they all have similar rock formations. That is to say, if the technology is mature and widely used in the future, then CO2 Will be able to store in the ground as a solid in a shorter time.
