The Jos Plateau is rich in basaltic rocks that could play a game-changing role in carbon sequestration through enhanced weathering. But here’s the big question: 👉 What’s the best methodology to evaluate this potential? Options researchers are exploring: 1️⃣ Geochemical modeling (simulations of CO₂ uptake) 2️⃣ Lab experiments (powdered basalt kinetics) 3️⃣ Field trials (basalt applied to soils, real-time monitoring) 4️⃣ Remote sensing & GIS (large-scale feasibility) 💡 I’d love to hear from geologists, climate scientists, soil experts, and environmental engineers: ➡️ Which approach (or combination) gives the most reliable, scalable, and policy-relevant results for Africa? 🌱 Your insights could help shape Nigeria’s contribution to global climate solutions.
In Nigeria, the best carbon capture method depends on the source. For power plants and industries, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) using underground reservoirs is most effective. For rural areas, nature-based solutions like tree planting and soil carbon storage work well. A mix of CCS for industry and nature-based methods for communities is usually the most practical approach.
Going Agree with Farids Answer,
Novel method.. have Mangroves MGs plantation all along Nigerian coast
Total coastal spaces and inward to have MGs..
Where sea floors are rocky, unble accept MGs roots, have MGs on Floating Beds FBs
This novel bio- geo engineering has been done by UNICEF in Fiji Islands
Need to be prostate.
.. wll wshs for gr8 prospects..
