Basalt sequestration is one of several efforts to boost Iceland's role in climate-change science, including research into soil carbon sequestration and hydrogen-powered transportation. And Grimsson isn't above doing some firsthand testing. "I probably shouldn't tell you this, but I was the first person to exceed the speed limit in a hydrogen-powered car," he says.
