Reply to comment by ATLL2112 in An Arizona plant will pull CO2 from the air and trap it in concrete by captainquirk

lol, I studied exactly that for my geologic thermodynamics class. I can tell you about injecting liquid CO2 into basalt and the chemical alterations that occur.

You're making quite a leap with the assumption that I claim there's zero scientific research on this topic. It's the scientific research I'm aware of that makes me skeptical of the direct air capture claims.

If you're waiting for "actual" scientific research, is not the implication that there currently is none? Your words there.

Please show me the actual scientific research on this particular process. I need to see the research and conclusions on direct air capture before I buy into what sounds pretty extraordinary.
