I've been enjoying this thread. I have a company that does this (Eion). We are recruiting for a data engineer role to implement the algorithms for quantifying carbon removal, if these questions are interesting to you.…
Can be <5 years if it is super fine (~25um) or >20 years if it is coarse (minus 3/8" fines).
Dust is never good, but olivine specifically was introduced as a foundry sand specifically because it doesn't cause silicosis (vs quartz).
Indeed, the largest active olivine quarry is in Norway, it's all hydro!
It depends on the feedstock, and how far you truck it (last mile) but in general this is one of the most bang-for-the-buck CDR approaches, with yields of 5-10x CO2 removed vs CO2 required.
Olivine comes from Norway, which uses hydro power. The energy in extracting and crushing is around 4kg CO2/ton. Pulverizing is around 30-50kgCO2/ton rock. Majority of transport is on water (ocean, river), which is low…
