The potential of storing carbon dioxide in construction materials through mineralisation: a mathematical modelling study

Thesis

The rapid increase of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions continues to pose a critical challenge to achieving the temperature stabilisation targets of the Paris Agreement. While decarbonisation of energy systems and industrial processes is essential, it alone is insufficient to achieve net zero and negative emissions. Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies are therefore necessary to address the historical CO₂ already present in the atmosphere. Among available CDR options, Direct A...
