Carbon mineralization is a process in which carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is chemically transformed and stored as a solid mineral form, most commonly in carbonate minerals such as calcite or dolomite. This process occurs naturally over geological timescales, but researchers are exploring ways to accelerate and enhance this process as a means of carbon sequestration to help mitigate climate change. Research in carbon mineralization focuses on understanding the mechanisms by which CO2 is converted into minerals, identifying suitable geological formations for storage, and developing technologies to stimulate and optimize the process. This area of research has the potential to play a significant role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating global warming.
