Chemical reactions that pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and store it in the form of solid rock inside geological formations could offset billions of tons of carbon-dioxide emissions each ...

There’s an igneous rock called peridotite that can sponge carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and store it in mineral form. Weirdly, almost no one is talking about it. Peridotite isn’t one of the ...

A rock commonly found in the southeast corner of the Arabian Peninsula could be used to soak up carbon dioxide and slow down global warming, scientists say. When carbon dioxide comes in contact with a ...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A rock found mostly in Oman can be harnessed to soak up the main greenhouse gas carbon dioxide at a rate that could help slow global warming, scientists say. When carbon dioxide ...

A common rock can be harnessed to soak up the main greenhouse gas carbon dioxide at a rate that could help slow global warming, scientists reported in a new study. When carbon dioxide comes in contact ...

Oman's ample stores of peridotite rock could lock away huge volumes of planet-warming carbon, but backers say a price on carbon is needed to make the project viable Nov 3 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) ...

ONE way of helping to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is to pump the gas into underground caverns or old oil fields. But there is also a rock that is happy to gobble it up, and ...

Temperatures across Earth’s mantle are about 60 degrees Celsius higher than previously thought, a new experiment suggests. Such toasty temperatures would make the mantle runnier than earlier research ...

Serpentinization is potentially significant for the origin and evolution of life during the early history of Earth and possibly on other planets. The dependence of starting materials and their initial ...
