Environmental and health impacts of atmospheric CO2 removal by enhanced rock weathering depend on nations’ energy mix

Enhanced rock weathering is competitive with other carbon sequestration strategies in terms of land, energy and water use with its overall sustainability dependent on that of the energy system supplying it, according to a process-based life cycle assessment.
