it crystallises and forms calcite inside the basalt rock and now, it s pretty rock solid. so you are looking to inject a lot of water into a lot of rock. do you have enough rock to manage it? yes, so in iceland alone, we have the potential to store 1000 gigatons in basalt here, and this is even before looking at the rest of the world. for some industries, carbon dioxide is not to be buried it is a vital commodity. this is beer which is being filtered and it s about to go into either keg or bottle, but this is where the c02 is injected in line as it s passing along the pipe and this is what makes the beer fizzy and carbonated. why valley brewery in herefordshire needs half a pint of liquid c02 delivered
so it is an ideal rock. so this is the basalt rock in its naturalform. incredibly porous for all of the carbonated water to get in and fill every nook and cranny. and this, 2a months later, it crystallises and forms calcite inside the basalt rock and now, it s pretty rock solid. so you are looking to inject a lot of water into a lot of rock. do you have enough rock to manage it? yes, so in iceland alone, we have the potential to store 1000 gigatons in basalt here, and this is even before looking at the rest of the world. for some industries, carbon dioxide is not to be buried it is a vital commodity. this is beer which is being filtered and it s about to go into either keg or bottle, but this is where the c02 is injected in line as it s passing along the pipe and this
it comes in directly from the power station and it enters that tower from the bottom here. then we inject cold water at the top and the c02 becomes dissolved in water. crucial to the process is this giant oversized sodastream like tower. it makes sparkling water, then it s ready to be transported to our injection site. these metal igloos or giant christmas puddings, depending how hungry you are is where we start to get subterranean. here, the carbonated liquid is forced a kilometre underground, where it meets the volcanic basalt rock. basalt has a lot of the metal that is required to permanently bind the c02. so once it gets in contact with the basalt, it s gonna form stable carbonate minerals, where it will be permanently stored. so it is an ideal rock. so this is the basalt rock in its naturalform. incredibly porous for all of the carbonated water to get in and fill every nook and cranny. and this, 2a months later,
