Dans certaines conditions, des minéraux carbonatés tels que la calcite, la dolomite, la sidérite ou la dawsonite peuvent se former, ce qui présente l'intérêt d'immobiliser le CO2 sous forme solide (minérale) et sur une très longue durée (plusieurs milliers d'années).

L'un des mécanismes susceptibles d'accroître la capacité de piégeage d'une roche magasin est l'incorporation minérale de la molécule CO2 par précipitation au sein de minéraux carbonatés. Ce processus s'appelle le piégeage minéralogique, qui est potentiellement attrayant parce qu'il pourrait immobiliser le CO2 pour de longues échelles de temps, et empêcher son retour à l'atmosphère. La formation de carbonates est possible dans la mesure où la roche hôte du gaz contient certains minéraux «précurseurs», solubles en présence de la saumure enrichie en CO2 dissous, et capables d'apporter des espèces ioniques (de Ca, Mg, Fe...) aptes à se recombiner avec le bicarbonate. 4, record 7, French, - pi%C3%A9geage%20min%C3%A9ral
