Mineral carbonation is a naturally occurring carbon sequestration process that has the potential to lock up carbon emissions on a gigatonne scale in Western Australia.
The Minerals Research Institute of Western Australia (MRIWA) Mineral Carbonation Roadmap identifies a pathway for accelerated mineral carbonation. This industrial-scale process converts CO2 into a stable form using mining wastes and byproducts.
It sets out a coordinated program of work to enable accelerated mineral carbonation in Western Australia across four themes: science and technology, economic viability, social and environmental impacts, and policy and regulatory needs.
MRIWA is now taking expressions of interest for applications under the Accelerated Mineral Carbonation Research Program to activate the roadmap.

Comments Attributed to Mines and Petroleum Minister David Michael
"Accelerated mineral carbonation technology provides an opportunity for State and industry to work together to convert large legacy stockpiles of mining and processing waste into sequestration assets."
"Research focused on accelerating mineral carbonation technologies will play a vital role in contributing to reducing CO2 emissions, as well as potentially creating new jobs, businesses, and markets for mineral carbonate products for Western Australia."
