A high efficiency method or process is provided for converting CO2 (carbon dioxide) to a mineralised compound. The method provides for the preparation of an aqueous solution of water and coal ash or coal residue which when contacted by CO2 bind or convert the CO2 into carbonates. The process can be carried out in in situ coal liquefaction mines. This process may be used to convert CO2 in large quantities where the CO2 is in concentrated volumes possibly sourced as a by-product from some process of industry. In another variation of the application of this process CO2 may be directly captured from the atmosphere utilizing airflow over a contact surface or by spraying of one of the aqueous solutions of this process.
