“…Currently, two CCSM approaches are being considered: (i) in situ -whereby the CO 2 is injected underground into a suitable host-rock where it reacts to form carbonate [Kelemen and Matter, 2008;Kelemen et al, 2011;Matter and Kelemen, 2009;McGrail et al, 2014;McGrail et al, 2006;Schaef et al, 2011]; and (ii) ex situ, which involves carbonation of feedstock materials above-ground in a specifically designed CCSM plant [Fagerlund et al, 2009;Lackner et al, 1997;Larachi et al, 2012;Park and Fan, 2004;Sanna et al, 2014;Sanna et al, 2013;Wang and Maroto-Valer, 2011a;b;Werner et al, 2013]. Both host-rock for injection and feedstock materials must be widely available and contain large proportions of easily-extractable cations (i.e.…”
