Hyperalkaline groundwaters and tectonism in the Philippines: Significance to natural carbon capture and sequestration
AbstractThe potential of using ophiolites for CCS has been pointed out before, but no case study has been conducted for the Philippines. Here, the potential for CCS in both ophiolites in general and ophiolites in the Philippines in particular is examined and discussed. Specific drawbacks of using ophiolites as a CO2 sink are presented for the first time, using information from natural analogue studies in the Philippines and Jordan
