New research shows carbon dioxide captured from the atmosphere could turn to rock if injected into the ocean floor off Vancouver Island.

Carbon dioxide is a major greenhouse gas that comes from the burning fossil fuels. As greenhouse gases warm the planet, researchers at Ocean Networks Canada are working on a solution.

“Ultimately that will use direct air capture, pulling CO2 out of the atmosphere, pumping it down through the water column and injecting it into a very durable reservoir, ocean basalt," Moran said. "It’s clear now based on numerous scientific studies, no matter how fast we decarbonize, which we have to do, we also have to remove CO2 from the atmosphere," Moran said.
