Abstract

Methods of sequestering carbon dioxide (CO) are provided. Aspects of the methods include contacting a COcontaining gaseous stream with an aqueous medium under conditions sufficient to produce a bicarbonate rich product. The resultant bicarbonate rich product (or a component thereof) is then combined with a cation source under conditions sufficient to produce a solid carbonate composition and product COgas, followed by injection of the product COgas into a subsurface geological location to sequester CO. Also provided are systems configured for carrying out the methods.
