Since the Industrial Revolution global green-house gas emissions, atmospheric CO2 concentrations in particular, have increased significantly due to anthropogenic burning of fossil fuels. It is the opinion of many government and international bodies that these increased emissions will accelerate the climate change phenomenon and its adverse effects. As such large reductions to current and future CO2 emissions are required while the performance and economics of renewable energies and technologies mature. Carbon capture and storage has been identified and already implemented as an option to reduce emissions on a large scale. Similarly, mineral carbonation, a naturally occurring process is also another potential candidate to reduce CO2 emissions on an even larger scale than carbon capture and storage. This Masters Design Project examines the technological background, regulatory framework, environmental risks, and economics of both, with a focus on mineral carbonation. The project then evaluates the risks and rewards of using mineral carbonation and provides some conclusions and recommendations for deployment alongside carbon capture and storage.
