Carbon Sequestration Potential
Dunite could be used to sequester CO2 and help mitigate global climate change via accelerated rock weathering. This would involve spreading large quantities of finely ground dunite in tropical regions known near sources of dunite. One significant environmental side effect would be a significant increase in the pH of nearby rivers.
