Carbfix is an Icelandic company that has developed an approach to permanently store CO2 by dissolving it in water and injecting it into basaltic rocks. Once in the subsurface, the injected CO2 reacts with the host rock forming stable carbonate minerals, thus providing permanent storage of the injected CO2 Approximately 200 tons of CO2 were injected into subsurface basalts in a first-of-a-kind pilot inj
