Now, new research by scientists at Washington University in St. Louis sheds light on what happens underground when
CO2 is injected into basalt, illustrating precisely how effective the volcanic rock could be as an
abatement agent for
CO2 emissions.

Information on investment needs in other sectors, e.g.,
CO2 to
abatement processes or non-
CO2 emissions, is sparse.
In 2000 the population was 281million and
CO2 generation was 5,620 million tons, for a per capita
CO2 generation of 20.0 tons (so per capita
CO2 emission has decreased quite a bit without any specific
CO2 abatement measures).

IEA publications — including their regular and widely read World Energy Outlook and Energy Technologies Perspective — have long emphasized the leading role that energy efficiency can play in reducing global carbon
emissions, contributing «about 40 % of the
CO2 abatement needed by 2050» according to the new report.
