Details

Injection of CO2 in (ultra)mafic rocks is a demonstrated technology to permanently sequester CO2 in the subsurface. This method offers a viable alternative for carbon sequestration, especially in regions where traditional options like saline aquifers or depleted fields are not available. The Dedicated Session on this topic will provide a comprehensive perspective on the technology, covering various aspects from a global overview of ongoing projects to detailed basin-scale screening of potential storage opportunities. Participants will gain insights into the latest advancements and innovations in CO2 storage in (ultra)mafic rocks, as well as the geological and geochemical processes involved in the mineralization of CO2. The session will also feature case studies from specific projects, highlighting the practical experiences, successes, and challenges encountered in the field. In addition to technical discussions, the session will explore the regulatory landscape governing CO2 storage in (ultra)mafic rocks. We will discuss the current regulations, potential policy changes, and the associated challenges and opportunities for project developers. Overall, this Dedicated Session aims to equip attendees with a thorough understanding of CO2 storage in (ultra)mafic rocks, fostering knowledge exchange and collaboration among researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers. By addressing both the scientific and regulatory dimensions, the session will contribute to the advancement and wider adoption of this promising carbon sequestration technology.
