About

Nike Fuchs is a pioneering researcher in carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and geological carbon storage, with a focus on sub-seabed basalt formations. Her key research areas include marine carbon sequestration, basalt mineralization, and the development of scalable CDR methodologies to combat climate change. Fuchs’s most notable contribution is her work on the pilot project for sub-seabed basalt storage of CO₂ on the Reykjanes Ridge, which demonstrated the feasibility of injecting carbon dioxide into oceanic basalt formations for long-term mineralization. This groundbreaking study, published in 2024, has already garnered 9 citations, highlighting its immediate impact on the field. By addressing the urgent need for effective CDR technologies to meet global temperature goals, Fuchs’s research provides a critical pathway for removing hundreds of billions of tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere. Her work bridges the gap between theoretical models and real-world applications, offering a promising solution for counterbalancing residual emissions. Fuchs’s achievements underscore her role as a key figure in advancing climate mitigation strategies, making her research essential reading for students and scientists focused on sustainable carbon management and geoengineering solutions.
