News Report 2

音频原文：

[3] Researchers at the Iceland found a new way of tackling climate change by

pumping carbon dioxide underground and turning it into stone. Other carbon

capture and storage methods store carbon dioxide as a gas. But problems

include a high cost and concern about leaks. This new method of burying

carbon dioxide and turning it into stone is cheaper and more secure,

the Guardian reports. To turn carbon dioxide into stone, researchers with the

carb fixed project pumped the gas into volcanic rock and sped up the natural

process in which the volcanic rock reacts with gas and forms carbon minerals.

The gas turned into solid in just two years, much faster than the hundreds or

thousands of years researchers had predicted. The research took place at

Iceland's Hellisheidi power plant.

Already, the project in Iceland has been increased in scale to bury 10,000 tons

of carbon dioxide each year. [4] One potential difficulty is that for each ton of

carbon dioxide buried, the technique requires 25 tons of water. However, the

lead researcher said sea water could be used.
