[silk] deccan trap co2 absorption

2007-02-15 Thread ashok _

A couple of days i back while listening to the bbc world service i
caught bits of a documentary about a research project being done by
the geological survey of india and columbia univeristy.  it was quite
interesting, and was about trapping greenhouse co2 inside the basalt
rock formations on the deccan

i didnt quite catch the part of how they were going to actually trap
the co2 inside the rock, but they mentioned practical feasibility in
the next 20 years.

I couldnt find any links online about this technologyanybody ever
heard of this?

Tangentially, a lot of the granite in the Deccan traps is being strip
mined at an alarming rate.
