that was my impression too.

Many of the sedimentary rocks are carbonates.

CO2 in water is a weak acid, so there is a reactive potential, but the cost of the process and its success would then depend on what mineral is involved, and how much energy is expended obtaining it.

Though perhaps there is a catalyst that will use less energy to simply turn it into carbon and oxygen? Hmm…
