About
Dr. Alexander Hinz is a pioneering geoscientist whose research focuses on carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and sub-seabed geological storage, with a particular emphasis on basalt formations. His most notable contribution is the groundbreaking pilot project for sub-seabed basalt storage of carbon dioxide on the Reykjanes Ridge, which represents one of the first field-scale demonstrations of this emerging CDR methodology. This work, published in 2024 and already garnering 9 citations, addresses the urgent need for effective, permanent carbon storage solutions to meet global temperature goals limiting warming to well below 2 °C. By investigating the mineralization potential of basaltic rocks beneath the ocean floor, Dr. Hinz is advancing our understanding of how to safely and permanently sequester hundreds of billions of tonnes of CO₂. His research bridges the gap between theoretical carbon storage models and real-world application, offering critical insights into the feasibility and scalability of sub-seabed basalt storage. Dr. Hinz’s work is instrumental in developing the next generation of CDR technologies essential for achieving net-zero emissions.
