abstract = {A recent approach to reduce the carbon footprint of
industries with process-inherent CO2 emissions is CO2
mineralization. Mineralization stores CO2 by converting it
into a thermodynamically stable solid. Beyond storing CO2,
the products of CO2 mineralization can potentially
substitute conventional products in several industries.
Substituting conventional production increases both the
economic and the environmental potential of carbon capture
and utilization (CCU) by mineralization. The promising
potential of CO2 mineralization is, however, challenged by
the high energy demand required to overcome the slow
reaction kinetics. To provide a sound assessment of the
climate impacts of CCU by mineralization, we determine the
carbon footprint of CCU by mineralization based on life
cycle assessment. For this purpose, we analyze 7 pathways
proposed in literature: 5 direct and 2 indirect
mineralization pathways, considering serpentine, olivine,
and steel slag as feedstock. The mineralization products are
employed to partially substitute cement in blended cement.
Our results show that all considered CCU technologies for
mineralization could reduce climate impacts over the entire
life cycle based on the current state-of-the-art and today's
energy mix. Reductions range from 0.44 to 1.17 ton CO2e per
ton CO2 stored. To estimate an upper bound on the potential
of CCU by mineralization, we consider an
ideal-mineralization scenario that neglects all process
inefficiencies and utilizes the entire product. For this
ideal mineralization, mineralization of 1 ton CO2 could even
avoid up to 3.2 times more greenhouse gas emissions than
only storing CO2. For all mineralization pathways, the
carbon footprint is mainly reduced due to the permanent
storage of CO2 and the credit for substituting conventional
products. Thus, developing suitable products is critical to
realize the potential benefits in practice. Then, carbon
capture and utilization by mineralization could provide a
promising route for climate change mitigation.},
