  Basalts - The New Path for Permanent CO2 Storage - TGS

  202473 · The most significant benefit of CO2 storage in basalt, as opposed to sedimentary reservoirs, is the rapid mineralization of the CO2 into carbonate minerals. This is due to the abundance of metallic cations found in mafic and ultra-mafic rocks. Rapid mineralization greatly reduces the risk of leakage over time.

  Initial agronomic benefits of enhanced weathering using basalt…

  2024327 · Addressing soil nutrient degradation and global warming requires novel solutions. Enhanced weathering using crushed basalt rock is a promising dual-action strategy that can enhance soil health and sequester carbon dioxide. This study examines the short-term effects of basalt amendment on spring oat (Avena sativa L.) during the 2022 …

  Climate change mitigation: potential benefits and pitfalls of …

  201745 · The trade-off is that, theoretically at least, basalt is less effective than olivine for CO 2 capture (e.g. approximately 0.3 tCO 2 t −1 basalt versus 0.8 tCO 2 t −1 olivine ). Ancillary benefits of basalt for crop production, soil improvement and suppression of greenhouse gas emissions that are less likely to accrue from olivine and the ...

  The Most Important Soil Amendment No One …

  In this work, basalt fibers (BF) have been investigated as possible natural and sustainable replacements for the common synthetic mineral filler—glass fibers (GF)—used in polyamide 66 matrix (PA66). Composites have been prepared at two different fiber concentrations (15 and 25 wt.%, respectively) by melt blending. The developed systems have been mainly …

  Volcanic Basalt | Soil Benefits | Cascade Minerals

  201639 · Our all-natural Remineralizing Soil Booster is made from massive basalt stones from Central Oregon’s legendary Cascade Mountains. Rocks are crushed to produce a finely milled, 100% natural product that is approved for organic production and releases the essential minerals and trace elements that plants and humans need to flourish.

  Flood Basalts and Mass Extinctions | Annual Reviews

  Flood basalts were Earth's largest volcanic episodes that, along with related intrusions, were often emplaced rapidly and coincided with environmental disruption: oceanic anoxic events, hyperthermals, and mass extinction events. Volatile emissions, both from magmatic degassing and vaporized from surrounding rock, triggered short-term cooling …
