After opening the world’s first commercial plant designed to pull CO2 directly out of the air, a Swiss company is now joining forces with a geothermal power plant in Iceland to create the world’s first “negative emission” power plant. The power plant will take captured CO2, bound it with water, and pump it 700 meters underground. This CO2 solution, on contact with the deep basalt rock, has been found to quickly form into a solid mineral in under two years.
