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:
“Much of what contrives to create critical moments in parenting stems from a fundamental misunderstanding as to what the child is capable of at any given age. If a parent misjudges a child’s limitations as well as his own abilities, the potential exists for unreasonable expectations, frustration, disappointment and an unrealistic belief that what the child really needs is to be punished.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
