Capture and sequestration of CO2 are considered the most feasible long-term strategies to address climate challenges caused by anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. Understanding physicochemical interactions between geologic materials and carbon-containing media across wide spatial and temporal scales is needed for large-scale deployment of cost-effective technologies to meet climate mitigation targets. This session will be a cross-disciplinary discussion that spans fundamental science of CO2-related geochemical processes and practical applications for the development of the materials and technologies for CO2 sequestration. We are seeking abstracts on topics including but not limited to: (1) Capture, conversion, and sequestration of CO2 using geo- and geo-inspired materials; (2) Geological CO2 sequestration by mineral carbonation, solubility, and physical trapping; (3) Enhanced weathering; (4) Critical element recovery with concurrent CO2 storage; (5) Effect of confinement on CO2-containing fluids; (6) Multiscale modeling and experimentation of the carbonation kinetics and dynamics of carbon-related chemical reactions; (7) Direct air capture via mineral looping and ocean-based CO2 removal techniques. We welcome experimental, theoretical and field investigations, including research of new material development and monitoring techniques for lab- or field-scale applications.
