Details
Geological storage of CO₂ in mafic and ultramafic rocks is rapidly emerging as one of the most promising pathways for achieving durable, secure, and
high capacity carbon removal. These rock types—rich in divalent cations such as
Mg and Ca—offer a unique opportunity for permanent CO₂ storage through mineral carbonation, turning gaseous CO₂ into stable carbonate minerals. Over the last decade, significant advances have been made in understanding reaction kinetics, reservoir characterization, scaling challenges, and field demonstration projects.
