Abstrak

Climate change is a rapidly accelerating problem that requires fast and large-scale carbon sequestration to prevent catastrophe. This paper proposes a novel approach to use explosives for large-scale carbon sequestration. Combining the long-practiced method of explosive mining with newer enhanced rock weathering techniques, we propose a faster, greener, and profitable method of large-scale carbon sequestration. This method is applicable for all explosives, including thermonuclear, and can be done safely with minimal anthropological and ecological impact. We estimate a cost of $0.68/ton of CO2 sequestered.
