The technology that turns CO2 into rock

Iceland may have uncovered the first truly safe method for carbon capture and storage. Currently, the established carbon capture technology is to extract carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, condense it, and pump it into underground chambers. This is the technique favoured by the oil and gas industry because they can suck an oil or gas reservoir dry, pump CO2 back in, and claim they are doing their bit for climate change. The problem with this method (beyond the hypocrisy) is that the CO2 can leak back out — it is only ever an earthquake away from seeping to the surface, and into the atmosphere. Much like nuclear waste, it doesn’t solve a problem, it simply passes the buck to future generations.
