Abstract
Reduction of CO2 emissions is crucial for achieving sustainability goals and to do that, concrete methods of long-term carbon storage should be employed. The most common way is geological storage, in which CO2 is kept in underground formation to ensure that it is out of the atmosphere on geological time scales. Among all the solutions, mineralization is the one of the secure techniques that converts CO2 into solid carbonate minerals. This method is particularly appropriate solution since the final product is not a buoyant liquid that must be pumped back into underground formations. This thesis deep dives into the process of mineralization, its working principles, and the feasibility of its application in Central Italy.
It summarizes the main chemistry (what leads to the reactions and how quickly they take place), the contribution of the water-rock interactions and the fractures, and the primary methods of conducting the process in situ
