Turning CO2 into rock under the ocean in B.C.

Cascadia Basin off coast of B.C. has huge sequestration potential

One of the challenges with carbon capture and sequestration is that once you’ve captured the CO2, you need a place to put it – permanently.

The site 300 kilometres off the coast of Vancouver Island was chosen, Moran said, because “it’s the best characterized basalt location on the planet.”

All of the technology needed for Solid Carbon’s negative emissions project are available. The one thing missing right now is a value proposition.
