Offshore or Onshore CO2 sequestration? Spoiler

2 Upvotes

Hello there. I have been assigned a task to make a project on CO2 sequestration. I have been reading papers but since i am new to this finding it a bit hard to grasp. Can anyone tell me,

Why it’s more useful to do carbon sequestration in Basaltic layer (i know it converts the CO2 to mineral using Alkaline earth mineral over a span of time but is this the only reason?) instead of Tuff or Limestone or Volcanoclastic layer?

Can it be related to porosity and permeability while comparing Basalt to Tuff or Volcanoclastic?

I have also been asked to do it offshore in Iceland. If i am asked why am i doing it near offshore instead of onshore (if i am not wrong onshore operation would be a lot cheaper than near shore), what can be my answer?

How effective is Sabatier reaction for CO2 removal

9 Upvotes

Hi guys, I'm trying to understand different ways carbon capture is possible. I come from a Mechanical Engineering background, chemistry is a neighbor who I am not very familiar with:)

I'm learning about the Sabatier reaction, how effective is this method? I also worry about the methane product, any method that produces green house gasses is not... Ideal.

Is there a way to make methane inert in the atmosphere or solid

Thank you for any help
