Wells for carbon storage in basalt to fight climate change
Iceland Drilling can offer significant value to the carbon storage market both in Iceland and globally, leveraging its expertise in geothermal drilling and its dedicated, experienced crews.

Here’s how:
Iceland Drilling’s specialized knowledge in high-temperature geothermal drilling can be directly applied to carbon storage projects. The company’s experience with drilling in challenging volcanic environments makes it well-suited for creating injection wells for carbon capture and storage (CCS) operations. In Iceland, the company can partner with projects like Carbfix, which turns CO2 into stone underground using the country’s unique basaltic rock formations.
Globally, Iceland Drilling can export its expertise to other regions suitable for carbon storage. Their highly mobile equipment, which can be swiftly mobilized between continents, allows them to support CCS projects worldwide. The company’s decades of experience in both high and low-temperature drilling can be valuable for various geological settings where carbon storage is feasible.
Iceland Drilling’s motivated and experienced crews, committed to creating a better future, can contribute to the rapid scaling of CCS technologies. Their technical skills and dedication align well with the urgent need to deploy carbon removal solutions to combat climate change. By offering their services to projects like Climeworks’ Mammoth facility, which aims to capture 36,000 metric tons of CO2 annually, Iceland Drilling can play a crucial role in advancing the carbon storage market and contributing to global climate goals.
