Within Seastone, the Carbfix Technology is further advanced by injecting seawater-dissolved CO₂ into the bedrock for permanent mineral storage. Using laboratory tests, the University of Iceland and Carbfix have shown that seawater can be used to apply the Carbfix technology. Field demonstration is ongoing. 
The use of seawater instead of fresh water is important in water scarce regions and expands the applicability of the Carbfix Technology to more regions around the globe, both coastal and offshore areas. Carbfix was involved in the first full cycle of CO₂ capture, transportation and permanent mineralisation storage utilising the Carbfix Technology with seawater.
