Abstract: Geological storage of CO₂ in basalts provides a new and potentially significant option for carbon capture and storage (CCS). So far, there are only three demonstration projects in the world, namely Nagaoka in Japan, Wallula in the United States of America and Carbfix in Iceland. These examples have confirmed the technical and economic feasibility of geological storage of CO₂ in basalts. The main progress achieved on the technology of CO₂ capture and storage in basalts are as follows (1) CO₂ in flue gas can be better captured by using aqueous solution instead of amine solvent, so that CO₂ and other water-soluble gases are easily captured at the same time, while equipment such as scrubbing tower is just simply installed as a gas separation device near the emission point source. (2) The Carbfix method suitable for CO₂ saturated solution injection and storage is proposed, and a special system which can inject gas and water solution respectively is designed. (3) In the process of CO₂ injection and sequestration, the tracer element monitoring method was firstly adopted, and the percentage of carbonation of CO₂ injected was quantitatively estimated by the mass balance method. It was found that at least 95% of basalts were completely mineralized in less than two years after CO₂ injection. However, the remain technical problems exist and need to be further studied, which include (1) how to choose the correct injection means between the CO₂ saturated and supercritical solutions. (2) Whether sea water can replace fresh water to dissolve CO₂. (3) How to improve the accuracy of geochemical simulation of injection and geological storage of CO₂ in basalts. (4) How to reduce the cost of carbon capture, separation and transportation. There are still a long way to go before we can effectively deploy such CCS technologies throughout the world.
