There is an urgent need to store millions of tons of CO2 in deep underground formations to reduce anthropogenic emissions in the atmosphere. Basaltic rocks are recently depicted as feasible and safe candidates for storing CO2 in mineralized form. The leakage of stored CO2 in basaltic rocks could be...
