Austria | Scientists at TU Wien have discovered a faster way for rocks to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere Austria The research shows that certain minerals can convert CO2 into solid carbonate much quicker than previously believed especially when water is present Instead of taking centuries the process can happen in just a few years as water helps change the structure of carbon dioxide allowing it to bind directly with minerals like wollastonite This breakthrough was observed using advanced atomic scale imaging techniques and could play a major role in future climate solutions by helping store carbon permanently in solid rock
