I gather there is now a (long/short term ?) moratorium on this project due to induced seismicity affecting local residents. I don't have a link toa source - I think it's in the icelandic news though. EdwardLane (talk) 17:51, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
According to the Guardian, they are "scaling up to bury 10,000 tonnes of CO2 a year, plus the hydrogen sulphide which also turns into minerals". Since the global emissions of CO2 are currently around 37 GT/year, that surely would mean that their project would need to be replicated roughly 3,700,000-fold to just keep pace with current emissions. Is this practical? -- The Anome (talk) 14:50, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
and a few more bits of info here too http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-36494501, I think the answer is yes potentially practical, but probably needs more experimentaion to perfect, and best site for long term carbon capture is probably not in iceland (as there is enough volcanism there to leave the rock at risk of meeting magma, melting and re-releasing the carbon dioxide - making it a wasted effort) but maybe very good in india (with the old basalt deccan traps for example) though there are possible earthquake issues similar to fracking to worry about too. (but that's just my understanding of it - and I may be wrong) EdwardLane (talk) 09:16, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have removed image attribution from the image description, in Special:Diff/872288594. If additional credit is required, please add it at File:Hellisheidi Geothermal Power Plant.png. If the original uploader has not created this photo entirely themselves, (as in, with their own camera), this must be clarified on the image description page. Please also see commons:Commons:OTRS, which is mandatory if the uploader is not the same person as the photographer. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 12:20, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I believe "proven, safe and cost effective" to be a non-neutral introduction. It seems to be unfitting for the first sentence of an encyclopedic article to me. I need to try to access the full article later, but I suspect that the word "proven" may be original research, not reliably, neutrally given by an independent source in a purely descriptive way. I believe "safe" to be a comparative term that lacks a specification what this is being compared to. Simply claiming that something is "safe" does not actually convey information; it just praises the article subject with a term that is meaningless on its own, but sounds positive to the reader without proper justification. The same is true for the statement "cost effective": Compared to what, and why? And should it really be in the first sentence, or would that be undue weight?~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:50, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am sadly unable to access the publication used as a reference in Special:Diff/872298439. From what I can see, the article has been published in a journal named "International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control", which may, judging by its name, be biased towards processes and companies that claim to control greenhouse gases. The authors of the publication, according to this ScienceDirect link, are:
Ingvi Gunnarsson
Edda S. Aradóttir
Eric H. Oelkers
Deirdre E. Clark
Magnús Þór Arnarson
Bergur Sigfússon
Sandra Ó. Snæbjörnsdóttir
Juerg M. Matter
Martin Stute
Bjarni M. Júlíusson
Sigurður R. Gíslason
Out of what must be pure coincidence, "carbfix.com/team" is currently locked: "This page requires access credentials. Error code: 403". I believe this to be highly unusual for a public "team" page and had a look at the Google Cache version of the page, "as it appeared on 28 Nov 2018 13:47:17 GMT." Oh! I made screenshots in case someone is later questioning this.
Ingvi Gunnarsson is "Active partner in WP3."
Edda Sif Aradóttir is "Project manager of Carbfix, and leader of WP1, WP6 and WP7."
Eric Oelkers is "One of the founding members of the Carbfix project. Leader of WP4 and WP6."
Deirdre Clark is "PhD student working under the supervision of Sigurður R. Gíslason [...] Active partner in WP3."
Bergur Sigfússon is "Deputy project manager, and innovation manager of Carbfix2. Active partner in WP1, WP2, WP3, and WP4."
Sandra Ósk Snæbjörnsdóttir is "Active partner in WP3, WP4, and WP6."
Sigurður Reynir Gíslason is "One of the founding members of the Carbfix project, and head of the scientific committee. Leader of WP3. Active partner in WP4."
When I asked for independent sources, I wasn't referring to Carbfix's own papers. I feel a bit betrayed because of the 403 error, but maybe someone can clarify that this was a purely technical random incident. Continuing to add unreliably sourced promotional statements to the article may lead to a block. If you are involved with Carbfix, please read WP:COI and WP:PAID very carefully and please do not edit the article directly anymore. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 03:24, 8 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the chapter called "Criticisms" since the critique was not directed at Carbfix (neither the company or the Carbfix method). The critique was aimed at Ólafur Teitur Guðnason former journalist and hist past views. Therefore it is not relevant to the Carbfix Wikipedia page. The critique is based on one single employee's writing published in 2004-2007 and prior to him joining Carbfix. His previous skepticism about climate change, although contentious, doesn't reflect on Carbfix's mission or operations. Seraphinianus1944 (talk) 21:22, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And I blocked you as a confirmed sock of User:Siljaye. Future such removals will be tested against edits made by your sock accounts; if disruption continues, no doubt alert editors will find their way to WP:SPI. Drmies (talk) 09:08, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Company refers to itself by Carbfix on its website and thus the name of the page was moved. Z1720 (talk) 18:52, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
