KARBONDİOKSİTİ TAŞA DÖNÜŞTÜRMEK | SERA ETKİSİYLE MÜCADELEDE YENİ YÖNTEM

İnsanlık olarak Sanayi Devrimi’nden bu yana sera gazlarıyla mücadele veriyoruz. Atmosferde gereğinden fazla biriken karbondioksit ise küresel ısınmanın başlıca sebeplerinden. Ancak son zamanlarda yeni ve çok farklı bir yöntem deneniyor. Karbondioksit kayaçlara hapsediliyor. Peki, bu nasıl oluyor? Gelin videonun devamında hep beraber öğrenelim.

In Iceland, CO2 sucked from the air is turned to rock

Good News Notes: “At the foot of an Icelandic volcano, a newly-opened plant is sucking carbon dioxide from the air and turning it to rock, locking away the main culprit behind global warming. Orca, based on the Icelandic word for “energy,” does its cutting-edge work at the Hellisheidi geothermal power plant in southwest Iceland. It is the world’s largest plant using the direct air capture…

World’s largest carbon-capture plant Orca opens in Iceland

Good News Notes: “The world’s largest direct air carbon capture and storage plant has started operating in Iceland, run by Swiss company Climeworks. Named Orca, the plant sucks carbon dioxide directly from the air and buries it as rocks deep underground, using technology from Climeworks‘ Icelandic partner Carbfix. Orca has the capacity to remove 4,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere…

Trapping Carbon Dioxide in Stone

By Nick Stockton

Wired

Carbon dioxide is a problem. And everyone knows the best thing to do with problems is bury them deep in the ground and forget they ever existed.

Practical-minded environmentalists and coal sympathizers alike have long touted carbon capture and underground storage as a low-emissions way to help the world’s economy wean itself off fossil fuels. But extracting the troublesome…

Milestone: Iceland power plant turns carbon emissions to stone

Coauthor Sandra Snaebjornsdottir with test drill core showing solidified carbonate Scientists and engineers working at a major power plant in Iceland have shown for the first time that carbon dioxide emissions can be pumped into the earth and changed chemically to a solid within months — radically faster than anyone had predicted. The finding may help address a fear that so far has plagued the…
