GEOMAR and Ocean Networks Canada launch seafloor basalt mapping project
Original: GEOMAR & Ocean Networks Canada Begin Project To Map Basalt For CCS Reference Data
The GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research and Ocean Networks Canada have started a project to map basalt formations on the seafloor. The work aims to produce reference data for carbon capture and storage, helping assess whether basalt layers can safely and permanently lock away CO2. It adds to growing scientific interest in offshore geological storage as a climate mitigation option.
Why now: Interest is rising in carbon capture and storage and in whether oceanic basalt can serve as a secure CO2 repository.
