1. A method of mineralizing carbon dioxide comprising:
delivering hyaloclastite to a mill capable of reducing the particle size of the hyaloclastite;
processing the hyaloclastite in the mill so that the processed hyaloclastite has a volume-based mean particle size of less than or equal to 40 μm; and
exposing the hyaloclastite to carbon dioxide in gaseous, liquid or solid form during the particle reduction process, wherein the carbon dioxide gas is at a concentration greater than its atmospheric concentration.
