In short, there is always that risk. We are exploring with partners how to minimize it.
Subterranean mineralization is a fascinating path too and may help with some leakage concerns.
We believe that CaCO3 can work in some small-scale contexts but it takes up a lot of volume/mass when done at industrial scale -- finding somewhere to put all the CaCO3 is a challenge, as is moving it there and avoiding negative impacts that come with it. Someone else in this thread made a good comment about this too.
