Each of these costs have to be offset by the economic value of the product and/or by carbon credits. Most CCS mineralization processes rely on carbon credit for economic viability because they do not make a value product . Carbon credits are a measurable and results-based way for companies to support activities, such as protecting and restoring irrecoverable natural carbon sinks, like forests or marine ecosystems and scaling nascent carbon removal technology, that keep global climate goals within reach. Current carbon credits for mineralization are average $470 per ton CO2 (); however, if mineralization or other sequestration process is to be widely adopted, they must have its own economic benefit other than from the revenue generated from carbon credits. The ZAP-C 3 process proves it is possible to create a profitable and sustainable carbon capture and permanent sequestration process.
