Abstract

Carbon sequestration research and technology is motivated by concerns that increasing atmospheric C02 concentrations are causing changes to Earth's climate and ecosystems that have the potential to cause serious, negative impacts on human welfare (IPCC 2005, 2007). As a global society, we will need to greatly improve energy efficiency and conservation, and develop alternative and renewable energy sources, while implementing carbon sequestration strategies to stabilize the concentration of atmospheric C02. The carbon mineralization strategies reviewed in this chapter complement C02 storage in subsurface pore space. This promising approach for sequestering C02 is grounded in the fundamental processes that govern natural mineral dissolution and carbonate precipitation. Natural analogue sites allow for the study of the geochemical and biological transformation of C02 at the field-scale; drawing our attention to potential reaction pathways that can be exploited and utilized, but also to the limitations that must be overcome in geoengineered and industrial systems designed to accelerate carbonation. Further study of natural analogues may yield a better understanding of the reaction pathways required for efficient carbonation, the long-term stability of carbonate minerals at Earth's surface, and the monitoring required for long-term storage (...)

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Carbon mineralization occurs in natural systems where CO2 reacts with Ca-Mg bearing rocks in aqueous environments.

    “Carbon mineralization occurs in natural systems where CO2 reacts with Ca-Mg bearing rocks in aqueous environments [4].”
  • Cement kiln dust is produced at a rate of about 500 Mt per year and consists of about 65% CaO.

    “It is produced at a rate of about 500 Mt per year and consists of about 65% CaO.89”
  • The annual amount of mining tailings produced globally could potentially offset approximately 1.5% of annual global CO2 emissions.

    “Notably, the annual amount of mining tailings produced globally could potentially offset approximately 1.5% of annual global CO2 emissions [73].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
