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.

Famous quotes containing the word potential:
“Raising a daughter is an extremely political act in this culture. Mothers have been placed in a no-win situation with their daughters: if they teach their daughters simply how to get along in a world that has been shaped by men and male desires, then they betray their daughters’ potential But, if they do not, they leave their daughters adrift in a hostile world without survival strategies.”
—Elizabeth Debold (20th century)
