Carbfix Mineralization Summit returns for a 2nd edition on 12-13 September, 2024 in Reykjavík, Iceland and online! 

About the Carbfix Mineralization Summit 

Carbfix Mineralization Summit is an event focused on carbon capture and storage technologies. 

The purpose of the summit is to bring together experts, policymakers, industry leaders, academics, students and other stakeholders to share the latest research and developments in mineralization, and to facilitate discussions and collaborations around this important topic.  

The Summit will also be a platform for EU and US-based stakeholders to connect and exchange valuable inputs on this matter.

One of the main goals of the Carbfix Mineralization Summit is to promote awareness and engagement around mineralization technologies, which have a critical role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the impacts of climate change. The summit provides a platform to discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with their deployment. 

We are proud to announce the esteemed cohort of speakers who will join us at the Carbfix Mineralization Summit 2024!
