On a planet aspiring to become carbon neutral, the once-stalwart coal power plant is an emerging anachronism. Most nuclear plants around the world today are large light-water reactors, with capacities well over a gigawatt—quite a bit more than typical coal plants. coal plants are planned to shutter by 2035.

Because of their chemical makeup, when the rocks are exposed to carbon dioxide, they react to form common limestone and chalk in a process called mineral carbonation. Earth Institute scientists are experimenting with ways to speed the natural process of mineral carbonation for use in carbon sequestration.
