Carbon mineralization is the process of turning carbon dioxide into solid carbonate minerals. It happens naturally when CO2 reacts with certain rocks, and engineers are studying ways to speed it up for durable carbon storage and carbon dioxide removal.
Direct air capture, or DAC, is a technology family that separates carbon dioxide from ordinary air. The captured CO2 can be stored underground or used in products, but the climate value depends on clean energy, durable storage, careful accounting, and deep emissions cuts happening at the same time.
