“…These types of rocks are targeted for CO2 mineralization due to their high efficiency in releasing cations, crucial for the process. Additionally, mafic and ultramafic rocks are abundant in divalent cation-bearing minerals, further enhancing the efficacy of CO2 mineralization (Cao et al, 2024).…”

Addressing the escalating threat of climate change requires a global response, with significant actions from every nation. Uzbekistan, a member of the Paris Agreement, is actively pursuing sustainable development by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting renewable energy. However, the country's Green Economy strategies currently lack Carbon Capture, Storage, and Utilization (CCSU) technology. A feasibility assessment is crucial to evaluating CCSU's potential for achieving net-zero emissions, benefiting both the public and scientific communities by informing policy decisions and providing valuable data. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate Uzbekistan’s potential for carbon dioxide (CO2) storage and utilization (CSU) in the near and mid-term. To achieve this, this work proposes a methodology for efficient CO2 source-sink matching to facilitate the deployment of CCSU technologies in Uzbekistan. Resource evaluation and spatial analysis methods are used to estimate the total CSU capacity of the region and the geographical distribution of CO2 sources in two large-scale emitting sectors, specifically from the power and cement plants. According to the results, Uzbekistan has an annual CSU capacity of 1171 million tonnes CO2, which is several times higher than the annual CO2 emission rate. Additionally, CSU resources are primarily located in the eastern, western, and southern regions of the country, while CO2 sink locations near the capital city and its surrounding areas are limited compared to their abundance of CO2 sources. Overall, while the country has ample CO2 storage capacity for CCSU deployment, the prospects for its chemical utilization remain limited in scale.

Basalt rich in Ca, Mg and Fe enables fast CO 2 mineralization, making carbon storage in basalt an alternative technology for reducing carbon emissions. The Leizhou Peninsula in China holds great potential as a key region for basalt carbon storage. However, the scarcity of extensive research on basalt carbonation reactions and the resulting mechanical response poses a significant obstacle to the implementation of this technology. Therefore, a series of basalt carbonation experiments were carried out. The results showed that diopside had the highest dissolution rate and acted as the primary source of divalent cations. Within one month, smectite was formed, followed by the precipitation of carbonate minerals. Initially, aragonite and dolomite were the primary carbonation products, but over time, dolomite dominated with a higher percentage of Mg. The dissolution and precipitation of minerals also led to degradation of the micromechanical properties of the basalt. With the progress of the reaction, the average elastic modulus and hardness continuously decreased with maximum reduction rates of 87.66 and 84.38%, respectively. The dissolution-dominant reaction caused an increase in defects on the surface of the basalt sample. Furthermore, the newly formed carbonate and clay minerals exhibited weaker mechanical strength, exacerbating the overall mechanical performance. This mechanical weakness poses a long-term safety risk for carbon storage. This study can provide valuable insights for the implementation of CO

“…Understanding the mineralization process of carbonates includes the study of dissolution rates and alterations of these minerals (Cao et al, 2023). It is essential to determine optimal conditions such as temperature, pressure, and pH for maximizing cation release (Oelkers, 2001;Gislason and Oelkers, 2003;Gudbrandsson et al, 2011).…”
