The rocks here in Oman are special, this scientist says. They remove planet-warming carbon dioxide from the air and turn it to stone. In theory, these rocks could store hundreds of years of human emissions of CO2. Storing even a fraction of that would not be easy. But it’s not impossible.
FUTURE Act promises accelerated CCUS deployment

Reimagine CO2
INSPIRING THE BRIGHTEST MINDS AROUND THE WORLD TO HELP SOLVE CLIMATE CHANGE.
A $20 Million global competition to develop breakthrough technologies that will convert CO₂ emissions from power plants and industrial facilities into valuable products like building materials, alternative fuels and other items that we use every day. Teams will be scored on how much CO₂ they convert and the net value of their products.
