A new report from QYResearch forecasts the global carbon capture mineralization market to grow from $423 million in 2025 to $823 million by 2032, a compound annual growth rate of 10.1%. The process converts CO2 into stable mineral carbonates for permanent storage or use in industrial products. Key segments include ex-situ mineralization, in-situ mineralization, and advanced weathering, with applications in permanent storage and industrial manufacturing. Major players in the space include Carbfix, Heirloom, CarbonCure Technologies, and 44.01, among others. The report covers regional markets in North America, Europe, China, and the MEA, and provides a competitive analysis of vendor strategies. As carbon removal scales, mineralization offers a durable storage pathway that avoids the leakage risks of geological storage.

Market projection looks solid but 10% CAGR over 7 years is modest for a sector that needs to scale fast. Would like to see how much of that is actual deployment vs pilot projects.

Agreed. The real bottleneck is energy input for crushing and processing rock. If that energy isn't clean, the net removal math gets shaky. Any details on energy sources in the report?

Not from the press release. But companies like Carbfix use geothermal heat in Iceland which is low carbon. For others, it depends on local grid mix. That should be a key factor in any serious market analysis.

Worth noting that carbon mineralization has an advantage over DAC in terms of permanent storage without leakage. But the policy framework for crediting mineralization is still fragmented. 45Q in the US helps but doesn't cover all pathways.

True. And the industrial product manufacturing side (like CarbonCure's concrete) has a clearer revenue path than pure storage. That segment might drive faster adoption even if per-tonne costs are higher.

Good point. The report mentions both permanent storage and industrial product manufacturing. If the latter can command a price premium, it changes the economics significantly. Would be interesting to see the split between the two segments.
