It is expected to deal with up to 4,000 tonnes per year, equivalent to the annual emissions from about 790 cars.
The CO2 is then mixed with water and pumped underground, where it slowly turns into rock.
The system is powered renewably by a nearby geothermal plant.

I hope they're not expecting to be growing any grass nearby.
To be instantly offset by Fagradalsfjall’s next eruption.
I thought I noticed less CO2 in the air today.
Well, they could just plant a forest.
Would work just as well and look nicer.
Could have pic-a-nics there too.
This is such a bad idea.
CO2 is essential for life on earth.
Below a certain level mass extinction starts.
Look out when all the club soda underground BLOWS
And I thought I noticed a bit more CO2 down here in the caves.
What insanity.
Thought I read somewhere it does the work of 160 trees.
If true, big whoop. Tear the thing out and plant trees in the footprint.
How much energy and raw materials that had to be dug up did it take to build that when they could just do the same thing by planting grass and trees?
Given the photo i do not think they are worried about that.
Commence Operation Vacu-Suck!
STUPIDITY! They’d be better off making burnt offerings to the Germanic gods! It would be just as effective and much cheaper.
from the size i hope it can scrub more air than what powers it produces
That was wrong - 167,000 trees. About 833 acres. The state of Georgia has 24.2 Million acres of forest to put in comparison to what this plant will achieve.
But I’m pretty sure the goal of this plant is not to reduce carbon. It is to make money from liberal investors and tax incentives.
and will be replaced by the dead vegetation around the plant
Forests don’t work well in Iceland.
It should undo the CO2 emissions caused by Bill Gates and John Kerry.
Only the CO2 emissions of about 8 billion more people remain to be dealt with.
Why remove a key component required for photosynthesis, the heartbeat of all plant life?
If carbon dioxide is so bad then why are they forcing school kids to inhale their own carbon dioxide?
