Project Description

The project is evaluating waste residues/waste by-products from various industries for applicability to creating value-added products through carbon dioxide (CO2) mineralization (CO2M). The project will apply the CO2M technology to several waste residues from local industry that broadly represent heavy industries that are widespread throughout the nation. The results of these laboratory experiments will be used to develop a database and toolset to aid in locating and evaluating potential industrial residues that can create value-added products using the CO2M technology.

Project Benefits

This project is identifying industrial waste residues and waste by-products that present the best opportunity for effective, safe, economic, and long-term CO2 sequestration via CO2M technologies. Successful execution of the project will result in a database and toolset that can be leveraged to identify the location and types of industrial waste products that can be converted to value added products while simultaneously sequestering CO2.
