In a recent paper published in Communications Earth & Environment, researchers explored geologic carbon dioxide (CO 2) mineralization in basalt formations, focusing on how complex carbonate phases ...

On the banks of the Columbia River, tall columns of rock poke out from the cliffs. “So you see all of these black rocks that are on either side of us, on either side of the river? Those are basalts.

Living in the Yakima Valley, we hardly give basalt a second thought, even though it’s all around us. Three of Yakima’s churches are either built of it, or use it in their foundations. There are pieces ...

But basalt has one virtue that other geologic formations lack. In the laboratory, it can transform CO2 into calcium carbonate – the equivalent of seashells or limestone – in a matter of weeks or ...
