About
Dr. S. Bhattacharya is a pioneering researcher in carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and geological carbon storage, with a focus on sub-seabed basalt formations. Their 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 innovative approach. This work, published in 2024 and already garnering 9 citations, directly addresses the critical need for effective CDR methodologies to meet global temperature goals limiting warming to well below 2 °C. Bhattacharya’s research explores the potential of basalt formations to permanently mineralize CO₂, offering a durable storage solution that could scale to remove hundreds of billions of tonnes of atmospheric carbon. By bridging experimental field studies with real-world deployment challenges, their contributions advance the feasibility of ocean-based carbon storage as a key climate mitigation strategy. Bhattacharya’s work is essential reading for researchers and students in geochemistry, climate engineering, and sustainable energy, highlighting a promising pathway toward net-negative emissions.
