Carbfix dissolves carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) in water and injects it into basalt bedrock at the thermal power plant Nesjavallavirkjun, to form solid carbonate and sulphide minerals.
SDGs related to the project
Project description
Carbfix dissolves carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide in water and injects this deep into the basalt bedrock at Nesjavallavirkjun, to form permanently solid carbonate and sulphide minerals.
Objectives of the project
Capturing and disposing of almost all CO2 and H2S in the emissions of Nesjavallavirkjun.
When is the target expected to be achieved?
By the year 2030.
Measurement of performance
Quantity of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide injected into bedrock.
Project progress
1 February 2023
Trials began in 2022 and capture will be carried out using a new, mobile capture plant that increases the efficiency of CO2 capture. The plant will capture 1000 tonnes of CO2 annually and about 500 tonnes of H2S. After the trials are complete, a new plant will be built by 2030 that will capture and dispose of all CO2 and H2S in the emissions of Nesjavallavirkjun.
