Rock ‘n’ use of CO<sub>2</sub>: carbon footprint of carbon capture and utilization by mineralization
Hesam Ostovari, André Sternberg, André Bardow
Abstract
Our LCA-based assessment showed that all considered CCU technologies for mineralization can reduce climate impacts over the entire life cycle due to the permanent storage of CO<sub>2</sub> and the credit for substituting conventional products.
