About
Isabel Kremin is a pioneering geoscientist whose research focuses on carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and sub-seabed geological storage, with a particular emphasis on basalt formations as a durable carbon sink. Her most notable contribution is the groundbreaking pilot project on the Reykjanes Ridge, which demonstrated the feasibility of injecting CO₂ into sub-seabed basalt for long-term mineral storage—a process that accelerates natural carbon mineralization. This work, detailed in her highly cited 2024 paper (9 citations), directly addresses the urgent need for scalable CDR methods to meet global climate targets, such as limiting warming to well below 2 °C. By proving that basalt’s reactive minerals can chemically lock away CO₂, Kremin has provided a critical pathway for removing hundreds of billions of tonnes of atmospheric carbon. Her research bridges experimental field trials and real-world deployment, offering a tangible solution for net-zero emissions. Kremin’s achievements have positioned her as a key voice in climate intervention strategies, earning recognition for advancing one of the most promising geological storage techniques. Her work continues to inspire interdisciplinary collaboration in marine geology and climate engineering.
