Approach for CCS through CO2 Mineralization in Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks around Peninsular and Eastern Malaysia

Summary The CO2 greenhouse gas emissions is to be reduced by implementing CO2 mitigation strategies. One such ideal approach for reducing the greenhouse gas emissions is the Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) Technology which is upscaling in the recent years. The present study focuses on the CO2 mineralization through suitable geological rock formations especially the Igneous and Metamorphic rocks. The Laboratory experiments were studied to know the composition of various minerals after injection. The Reaction Kinetics is an important aspect that need to be addressed for faster reaction rates. The economic feasibility and sustainability studies is also conducted.
