Under a $4,997,015 Cooperative Agreement from the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency (CFDA 81.135), the University of Texas at Austin proposes to conduct an in-situ test of carbon-negative reaction-driven cracking techniques to enhance mineral recovery. The key products and services to be delivered include:

  1. Injecting CO2 dissolved in water to permanently sequester CO2 via carbon-negative reactions.
  2. Chemically fracturing rock through reaction-driven cracking to reduce extraction and comminution energy by at least 50%.
  3. Replacing serpentinite gangue with carbonate minerals to reduce flotation energy, improve concentrate grade, and increase ore recovery.
  4. Expanding the lifespan of the mine as a CO2 sink after the ore is exhausted.

The University of Texas at Austin is collaborating with Columbia University as a sub-grantee on the "Mining Innovations for Negative Emissions Resource" project under this award, which runs from June 26, 2023 to June 25, 2026.
