Aspen Plus simulations were employed to evaluate the effects of varying Ni concentrations (5–25 wt%) on reaction rates, activation energy, and carbonation efficiency. The results revealed that adding Ni considerably reduced the activation energy from 178 kJ/mol (pure CaO) to 70–90 kJ/mol. The maximum catalytic efficiency was achieved at 20 wt% Ni.

The CO<sub>2</sub> bubbles in this zone significantly reduce fluid mobility, lowering leakage rates. Existing leakage models neglecting such CO<sub>2</sub> exsolution effect overestimate leakage rates and risks.
