This round-table event looks at how atmospheric CO₂ could be stored permanently as rock beneath the ocean floor. Behind it is the international Solid Carbon project, led by Canada, which is developing technology to capture CO₂ from the air and inject it into basalt below the seabed, where chemical reactions transform it into stable minerals. 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.
