- matznerd 3y agoSibelco's Aheim mine essentially supplies a large part of the world's olivine today. It is located in a Fjord with its own port. The transportation distance is very small. See their website here: https://www.sibelco.com/en/150-years/aheim https://www.sibelco.com/en/150-years/aheim "The proximity of Aheim’s mine, processing facility and shipping terminal enables Sibelco to run a highly efficient operation with minimal transport or double-handling of materials. Quarried olivine is moved via conveyor belt through a 4km tunnel to the processing plant where it is crushed, dried and screened into different grades." When transporting mostly by ship, olivine ERW efficiency can remain >90% even with 1000+ kilometers of sea transit. See this working paper: Environmental life cycle assessment of CO2 sequestration through enhanced weathering of olivine https://legacy.projectvesta.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Environmental-life-cycle-assessment-of-CO2-sequestration-through-enhanced-weathering-of-olivine.pdf https://legacy.projectvesta.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/E...
