What was developed or tested
The work considers mineralogy, comminution, deposition, climate, gas concentration and operational integration rather than one universal process.
What the evidence supports
This landscape case shows why carbonation performance cannot be transferred by commodity name alone. It provides methods and field trials rather than a commercial claim.
Environmental and technical uncertainty
Potential co-benefits include dust mitigation and metal immobilisation; each site still requires water-quality and geochemical assessment.
Benefit-case screening lens
Potential value: Durable carbon removal, possible carbon value, improved residue stability and a measurable decarbonisation contribution.
Deployment constraints: Additional uptake, kinetics, measurement and verification, energy, water, land, operating integration and the permanence of storage.
Question before applying elsewhere
Can additional, durable carbon uptake be measured and verified without creating unacceptable energy, water or environmental burdens?
