When NETL researchers began to research the potential to recover critical minerals from rocks that are processed to remove atmospheric carbon dioxide in a practice called mineral carbonation, they expected to find valuable commodities like chromium, cobalt, and nickel. But their work also discovered valuable quantities of platinum group minerals (PGMs) — extremely precious metal commodities that are critical for the clean energy economy.
The finding could have positive implications for both the critical mineral supply chain and an evolving decarbonization technology.
