Solid Carbon: a Gigaton-scale Climate Solution

Ocean Networks Canada

To stay within CO2 limits, safe & durable negative emissions solutions are needed.

It is now well recognized that climate scenarios for Earth to stay within the limits set by the COP21 Paris Agreement must include negative emission technologies to draw down excessive CO2 from the atmosphere on a large scale. The Solid Carbon team will guide you through one of the safest and most durable negative emission technology climate solutions, offshore carbon capture and geological storage in deep ocean basalt rock. This technology has a global scaling potential for sequestering gigatons of CO2 per year. You will learn about the technical aspects of modifying and combining existing technologies to enable direct air capture of CO2 in the deep ocean, using sustainable energy on floating platforms, then pump the CO2 into the basaltic ocean crust deep below the ocean and sediments, where over time the CO2 will mineralize and form solid carbonate rock. Social and regulatory acceptance of this climate solution will also be addressed.Presenters<ul><li>Curran Crawford, University of Victoria</li><li>Ryan Foxall, University of Victoria</li><li>Rachel Lauer, University of Calgary</li><li>Heather Norton, University of Victoria</li><li>Terre Satterfield, University of British Columbia</li><li>Martin Scherwath, Ocean Networks Canada</li><li>Benjamin Tutolo, University of Calgary</li><li>Romany Webb, Columbia University</li></ul>
