Storing Carbon at the North Pole
Posted by Michael Bradbury in Climate Change, Environment, Geology, Video on 09 9th, 2009 | no responses
Scientists on Svalbard near the North Pole are drilling one kilometer into the ground where they hope to store carbon dioxide, given off by a coal-fired power station.
The project is part of a new wave of technology designed to cut greenhouse gas emissions and combat global warming. This decade’s long study will determine if sandstone will act as a good container to keep the liquefied carbon dioxide underground for up to 10,000 years.
