Natural Carbonation of Alkaline Industrial Wastes: A Large-Scale, Unaccounted Sink for CO2

Research Square (Research Square), Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 22, 2025

Achieving international climate goals will likely require large-scale removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere ¹. A promising means (CDR) is by enhanced weathering and carbonation various alkaline industrial wastes such as slags ash ^2,3. Although global potential has been estimated ^4–7, magnitude uptake natural these worldwide remains uncertain. Here, using results more than a decade experiments an extensive dataset activity waste disposal, we show that annual 0.43 Gt CO₂ (95% CI: 0.33–0.53 CO₂) in 2020, increasing at average rate 2% per year for past decade. Between 1930 estimate have absorbed 14.0 11.2–25.2 carbonation. Our reveal extent to which represent unaccounted sink cycle, also highlight opportunities enhancing future.
