NEW YORK (Reuters) - A rock found mostly in Oman can be harnessed to soak up the main greenhouse gas carbon dioxide at a rate that could help slow global warming, scientists say. When carbon dioxide ...

Scientists say that a type of rock found in the Mideast nation of Oman and other areas around the world could be harnessed to soak up huge quantities of globe-warming carbon dioxide. Their studies ...

Trapping carbon dioxide in rocks has been touted as a low-cost strategy for combating climate change. But a recent study shows that trace metals released by certain rock types proposed for CO 2 ...

Water stored in peridotite aquifers in the shallow subsurface drives hydration and oxidation (serpentinization) reactions, generating hydrogen gas and releasing Mg2+, Fe2+, Ca2+ and OH- into solution.
