Abstract
This chapter outlines the program designed to accelerate the development of CO2 sequestration technologies based on above-ground mineral carbonation and presents the current status of the research efforts. The sequestration of CO2 as a mineral carbonate is being managed by the National Energy Technology Laboratory and performed by a multi-laboratory team, referred to as the Mineral Sequestration Working Group ( MSWG). Mineral sequestration, also known as mineral carbonation, is the process of converting CO2 with naturally occurring minerals into permanent carbonate minerals. The goal of the program is to develop the knowledge base necessary to design a commercial-scale mineral sequestration plant. To achieve this objective, members of the MSWG will develop and operate a family of flexible, pilot-scale mineral carbonation units that will enable second-order process refinements and engineering development on a commercially relevant scale. The chapter presents a brief discussion of pertinent issues followed by an overview of activities and resources required to successfully develop and demonstrate the technology.
