The record-breaking mission offers an unprecedented opportunity to study the geology of our planet’s largest layer.

In the world’s first demonstration of carbon mineralization in peridotite, the team injected 1.2 metric tons of dissolved CO into the rock. Image courtesy of 44.01. The need for financing and ...

The rock cores extracted from hole U1601C are dominated by peridotite, the most common type of rock found in the upper mantle. The samples have been altered by their exposure to seawater, ...

On December 5, 2023, Oman-based 44.01 announced what it called the world’s first mineralization project that uses seawater to inject CO2 into peridotite rock formations.

At scale, peridotite mineralisation could eliminate billions of tons of carbon emissions, helping decarbonise vital industries and remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Sophie Hildebrand, ADNOC Chief ...

But the true color of the rock is green. It's peridotite from the upper mantle, 160 million years old. And the kicker is this is not peridotite that came up here in North America.

The Abu Dhabi energy giant and its partner for the project, 44.01, permanently mineralized 10 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) within Fujairah’s peridotite rock formations in under 100 days.

CAN-24-001 intersected 16.0 meters of overburden followed by serpentinized peridotite with varying amounts of sulfide minerals (0.2 - 0.5%) to a depth of 72.5 meters.

Carbonate veins in peridotite rock in Oman offer a visual example of the natural process of carbon mineralization. When CO 2 dissolved in rainwater seeps into cracks in the magnesium-rich rock, ...

The initial pilot of 44.01’s Earthshot prize-winning mineralization technology commenced in 2023 and permanently mineralized 10 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) within Fujairah’s peridotite rock ...
