A new challenge has been launched to uncover the world’s remaining undiscovered carbon-bearing minerals.

The Deep Carbon Observatory (DCO) has launched the Carbon Mineral Challenge to find what it believes are around at least 145 carbon minerals yet to be discovered.

Scientists at the Carnegie Institute of Washington and Purdue University Calumet used a type of analysis called Large Number of Rare Events (LNRE) modelling to formulate this prediction.
