Back to Earth – Using Natural Processes to Turn CO2 Permanently into Rock

The CarbFix collaborative research project, led by Reykjavik Energy, centers around one of the world's largest geothermal power plants in Hellisheidi, Iceland. Industrial scale application of the CarbFix process has been ongoing at the power plant since 2014 with 66,000 tons of sour gases captu...
