A theoretical framework to assess the realistic potential for carbon mineralization


What this project is about:  Developing one-dimensional reactive transport models to explore a range of different possibilities for carbon mineralization, by varying the mode of water transport, the permeability model, and the relation between porosity and elastic strain energy.

How this will be done: By developing a range of mathematical models to explore a range of possibilities, such as mode of water transport, the permeability model, and the relation between porosity and elastic strain energy

Why it matters: By allowing researchers to test a variety of possibilities, the new framework resulting from this project will enable future technological developments on carbon mineralization and assist in the life cycle analysis of promising solutions.
