Silverstone
The Silverstone project will apply Carbfix technology in a new CO2-optimized capture plant at the Hellisheidi geothermal power plant in Iceland. More specifically, by 2025 with the addition of the Silverstone project (25.000 tCO2/year) to the existent pilot scale CO2 capture facilities (12.000 tCO2/year), 37.000 tCO2/year will be captured, dissolved into the water and injected into basaltic formations for permanent mineral storage.
