Managed Halite-Biomass Stratigraphy: A Solar-Driven Framework for Permanent, Leak-Proof Carbon Sequestration
Abstract
This manuscript introduces "Managed Halite-Biomass Stratigraphy" (HBS), a novel geochemical and geomechanical framework for the permanent sequestration of anthropogenic carbon. Diverging from traditional gas-phase injection methods, HBS utilizes the natural evaporative dynamics of endorheic basins to facilitate microbial biostasis followed by rapid mineral encapsulation within a crystalline halite matrix. Drawing on over 25 years of field experience with high-pressure industrial fluid systems, the author demonstrates that a 50-meter vertical stack can achieve a storage density of 80 kg/m3 of CO2 equivalent with geological permanence exceeding 108 years.
