headaches, correct? reporter: absolutely extraordinary, isn t it? given the whole world is a new patchwork of travel bans and travel restrictions, demand is definitely there. and we re getting some fresh numbers in terms of international travel from oag, which is a global travel data provider. there is safety for airlines to operate their schedule at least to the end of the year. isa, since 9 beginning of december there s been a reduction of 2.8% of seats. that s windows just before the omicron variant was discovered. now, once we have all had our christmas puddings and drank far too much champagne on new year s eve, the pitch looks more bleak going 2022. we are seeing some airlines beginning to drop their capacity for the coming months. for instance, ryanair, the low cost carrier here, has slashed their january traffic forecast by a third. they ve also doubled their annual loss forecast. so, good news for airlines just in the next few days. people do want to travel. they want to see

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, 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?
