Mines CCUS Innovation Center Seminar 04/23 11:00 am GC 200A
Department / Organization: Mines CCUS Innovation Center
Join MCIC and Dr. Rossetti to learn more about Basaltic lavas as a sink to anthropogenic CO2, a case study from Brazil.
CO2 geological storage is a promising way to permanently remove carbon dioxide and combat global warming. Success has been seen in conventional reservoirs and with igneous rocks. Volcanic rocks, especially basalts, promote chemical reactions that aid in carbonate mineralization and permanent CO2 storage. Dr. Lucas M. M. Rossetti will present a case study from the ParanĂ¡-Etendeka Large Igneous Province, Brazil.
Dr. Rossetti, Federal University of Mato Grosso, Brazil, teaches topics including igneous petrology, geochemistry and geological mapping. His research is focused on the stratigraphy and temporal evolution of large igneous provinces, and the petrophysical properties of volcanic rocks and their reservoir properties (hydrocarbons, water, CO2 storage).
