According to Verhovek, there's 50% more carbon today than we had in the early to mid-1800s and that carbon is what's been slowly been heating up the planet. RELATED: This extreme heat crisis will ...

Carbon capture. Iceland’s geology is well suited to it, “we already have companies that are working on it here… but we also have interest from other countries to come to Iceland to do that”.

Heavy industry in Iceland contributes 48% of the country’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, according to the Environment Agency of Iceland, excluding greenhouse gases from land use and forestry.

They plan to inject up to 2,000 tons of carbon dioxide over 6 to 12 months and then follow how far the solution is spreading via tracer elements and monitoring wells.

It has been in operation since 2014 at Hellisheiði geothermal power plant, about 30km east of Iceland’s capital, and by January 2020 had fixed over 50,000 tonnes of CO2. Cutting carbon ...
