Mineral carbonization

Mineral carbonization is a process where carbon dioxide (CO₂) gases are chemically reacted with naturally occurring minerals, such as magnesium or calcium-rich rocks, to form stable solid compounds like carbonates. This transforms the greenhouse gas into a harmless, solid form that can be stored permanently. The process mimics natural rock weathering but is accelerated artificially, offering a potential method to reduce CO₂ emissions from industrial sources. By converting CO₂ into stable minerals, mineral carbonization provides a long-term solution for carbon capture and mitigates climate change effects.
