Icelandic scientists are working on a new carbon storage project which involves embedding carbon dioxide as solid calcium carbonate in basaltic rocks. The CarbFix project aims to imitate the natural storage process of CO2 already observed in geothermal fields. The project's implications for the fight against global warming are considerable, since basaltic bedrocks suitable for CO2 injection are widely found on the planet. Source: Clean Skies News

We cannot afford to let them go up in smoke, so the upcoming UN climate summit in Copenhagen has to consider much more than just curbing emissions. Source: Greenpeace/Green.tv
