Industrial Residue CO₂ Mineralization Resource Assessment Tool (DE-FE0032244)

This screening-level GIS and materials calculator supports evaluation of industrial residue opportunities for CO₂ mineralization. The tool combines project residue data, estimated CO₂ uptake, breakeven transport-radius screening, and a chemistry-based theoretical CO₂ uptake calculator.
