STORECO2 in Washington: Sharing the First Results of the Project at AGU 2024

by AndreSTORECO2UncategorizedPosted on No Comments

We’re excited to have shared the initial findings from the STORECO2 project at the AGU 2024 Fall Meeting in Washington!

Our contribution to the session “Advances in CO2 Capture, Transport, Utilisation and Storage” focused on the early insights we’ve gained into natural CO2 sequestration through serpentinite carbonation looking at natural analogues in the Ligurian Ophiolite of Tuscany.

It has been a great time for discussion and exchanging new ideas with the scientific community. We look forward to building on these early findings and contributing to the ongoing efforts to combat climate change!

Kick-Off of the STORECO2 Project, 10-11 January 2024, Pisa

The STORECO2 project officially launched with its first meeting on January 10th and 11th, 2024, at the IGG-CNR in Pisa. This initial gathering, conducted in a hybrid format, allowed for an inclusive and comprehensive kick-off. The first day was dedicated to presentations by the participants, who shared their research focus and engaged in critical discussions about the scientific progression, administrative logistics, and next steps for the project.

On January 11th, the team conducted a field survey at the Castiglioncello magnesite deposit, focused on identifying the best locations for collecting geochemical data and assessing areas suitable for geophysical studies. This two-day event marked the beginning of an ambitious endeavor to enhance our understanding of mineral carbonation as a means to mitigate climate change through innovative carbon storage techniques.
