OmanProject Background
Named after the molecular weight of carbon dioxide, the client removes CO2 permanently by mineralising it in peridotite, a rock found in abundance in Oman as well as in America, Europe, Asia and Australasia. Peridotite mineralisation is a natural process, but in nature it can take many years to mineralise even a small amount of CO2. The company accelerates the process by pumping carbonated water into seams of peridotite deep underground.
