CVE Workshop on Mineralisation – How to trap CO2 into useful rocks

CO₂ Value Europe organises a workshop where its pioneer members Carbon8 Systems, VITO, Orbix and Mitsubishi Corporation will present current developments in CO₂ mineralisation based on real-life applications (e.g. CO₂-based construction aggregates, pavements, concrete). We will also have the chance to hear Prof. Andre Bardow (ETH Zürich) explain how mineralisation can contribute to climate change mitigation from a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) perspective and we will address the current priorities towards a regulatory framework that will acknowledge and support the role of CO₂ mineralisation.

Mineralisation of CO₂, also known as carbonation, is a Carbon Capture & Utilisation (CCU) technology. In this process, CO₂ captured from industrial emissions or directly from the air reacts with calcium- and magnesium-rich materials (e.g. originating from construction and demolition waste, steel slags, incineration by-products) to produce valuable products, like construction materials, where CO₂ is stably sequestered. It is therefore a process with a major climate change mitigation potential, all the while promoting waste management approaches based on the circular economy principle.
