Each year, ICEF (*) focuses on a technology that is expected to contribute significantly to long-term net-zero emissions and creates a roadmap.

Key Points: 
  • Each year, ICEF (*) focuses on a technology that is expected to contribute significantly to long-term net-zero emissions and creates a roadmap.
  • The latest roadmap features carbon mineralization, a natural process in which carbon dioxide (CO2) becomes bound in rocks as a solid mineral, permanently removing CO2 from the atmosphere.
  • Ground ores sprinkled onto soils are expected to accelerate the carbon mineralization process and produce secondary benefits as fertilizers and soil improvers for farmland.
  • With global CO2 emissions currently about 33.5 billion tons (*), it is estimated that carbon mineralization could reduce CO2 by several billion tons by 2050.
