Carbon Sponges
This illustration ‘Carbon sponges’ was inspired by research on carbon capture storage from Oxford’s School of Earth Sciences and School of Geography and the Environment. Far beneath the waves lies a hidden treasure trove: now empty reservoirs beneath the sea floor that offer a promising opportunity for capturing and storing compressed CO2. Each geological layer, reflected in the textured design, looks to show depth and context to a distance that is hard to envision or conceive and aims to demonstrate the robustness of the rocky-honeycomb reservoir. CCS serves as a mitigating solution to combat immediate greenhouse gas emissions, providing a hopeful path towards a more sustainable future.
