Combining ocean science, engineering and carbon removal, the presentation examines how this approach could be deployed at scale. It also asks whether vast offshore basalt formations can help meet global climate targets.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/berlin/events/turning-co2-into-rock-carbon-storage-beneath-the-seafloor-108131/", "official_url": "https://falling-walls.com/programme/turning-co2-rock-carbon-storage-beneath-seafloor", "image": "", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-07T10:00:00+01:00", "end": "2026-11-07T11:00:00+01:00", "place": "Falling Walls Science House", "address": "Karl-Marx-Allee 34, 10178 Berlin", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Climate Bretton Woods: Rewriting Global Rules", "start": "2026-11-07T17:00:00+01:00", "end": "2026-11-07T18:00:00+01:00", "place": "Falling Walls Science House, Tsukamoto Café", "address": "Karl-Marx-Allee 34, 10178 Berlin", "price": "", "price_from": null, "price_to": null, "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["society/politics/climate-policy"], "description": "A talk titled \"Climate Bretton Woods: Rewriting Global Rules\" explores how a carbon currency could make international climate cooperation more durable than past climate diplomacy has.
