Managed pathways for CO<sub>2</sub> mineralisation: analogy with nature and potential contribution to CCUS-led reduction targets
Colin D. Hills, Nimisha Tripathi, Paula J. Carey
Abstract
We examine natural and managed pathways for CO<sub>2</sub> mineralisation. Our study indicates that managed pathways have potential to meet 60% of the UK’s CCUS-led emission reductions by mineralising 24 Mt CO<sub>2</sub> in selected industrial wastes by 2030.
