Which outcome of enhanced weathering arises when carbon capture and storage (CCS) injects supercritical CO2 into basalt formations at scale?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated olivine dissolution will occur because supercritical CO2 becomes carbonic acid enhancing chemical weathering via dissolution; therefore, silicate mineral dissolution quickly binds the injected carbon, rather than further fracturing or precipitation, given the high CO2.
