🌋 A recent study by @Olenellus & @GambixPT published in @geosociety found that “an extinct #volcano off the shore of Portugal could store as much as 1.2-8.6 gigatons of CO2, the equivalent of 24-125yrs of the country’s industrial emissions.”

“Doing so would rely on a method known as in situ mineral #carbonization, which works when the CO2 taken from the air is pumped deep underground.”

“Once in the bowels of this extinct volcano, calcium, magnesium, and iron react to the incoming carbon dioxide to form calcite, dolomite, and magnesite, trapping the CO2 forever in a rocky prison.”

Researchers estimate that “European storage rates need to boost 30-100x by 2030 to meet #NetZero by 2050. 🇨🇳 & North America face a similar challenge. The slow global progress of #CarbonStorage undermines the latest IPCC, IEA & EU transition pathways to net zero by 2050.”

So, new study addressed this issue "by examining C rotation ages that consider commercial timber and C values. A discrete-time optimal rotation age model is developed that uses data on C #fluxes stored in living & dead biomass as opposed to C as a function of timber growth."

"Carbon is allocated to several ecosystem and post-harvest product pools that decay over time at different rates. In addition, the timing of #CarbonFluxes is taken into account by weighting future carbon fluxes as less important than current ones."
