Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Jake A Horner"
- Jake A Horner's research primarily focuses on geologic carbon sequestration, specifically the mineralization processes of carbon dioxide (CO2) in basalt formations, highlighting innovative methods for mitigating climate change through effective carbon dioxide removal techniques.
- His studies have demonstrated successful mineralization of CO2 in the Wallula Basalt Carbon Storage Pilot Project, revealing that injected CO2 can mineralize within timeframes of months to years in deep basalt reservoirs, as evidenced by advanced techniques like optical petrography and electron microscopy.
- Horner's work also explores the effects of co-contaminants like sulfur dioxide and oxygen in the CO2 storage process, showing significant mineralization outcomes from laboratory experiments simulating reservoir conditions, ultimately contributing to broader understanding of reactive transport modeling in carbon sequestration.
