Assessment of the Potential for Carbon Dioxide Sequestration by Reactions with Rocks in Nevada
by Daniel M. Sturmer, Daphne D. LaPointe, Jonathan G. Price, and Ronald H. Hess

This report investigates the potential for disposal of CO₂ by reaction with rocks in Nevada. There are sufficiently large volumes of basalt and gabbro to consider reaction of those rocks with CO₂ from coal-fired power plants, but in Nevada there are not sufficient quantities of other potential rock types for such reactions.
