Turning CO2 into stone

The key to achieving our climate ambitions is to stop emissions at the source – which is exactly what CarbFix2 intends to do.

The project developed an innovative carbon storage method that can safely convert CO2 into carbonate rock. Installed at a geothermal power plant, the technology has proven capable of capturing, injecting and mineralising 33 % of CO2 emissions and 75 % of all hydrogen sulfide emissions. Leveraging this success, the project is now working to scale up its solution and add a carbon transport and storage hub so other countries can store their captured carbon in Iceland’s rocks.
