A new study reveals that implementing enhanced weathering (EW), the practice of adding crushed basalt to soils, with U.S. agriculture could remove between 160 and 300 million metric tons of carbon ...

The Illinois team was able to calculate both the weathering rate and carbon dioxide reduction potential of the basalt rock amendments applied to maize and miscanthus fields. Those factors are critical ...

Enhanced rock weathering makes use of a natural geologic process to store carbon long term Applying 10 tons of basalt dust per hectare of crop land globally could sequester up to 217 gigatons of ...

Overview figure of the weathering continuum, in which processes from the highest mountain to the deep ocean play a role in removing CO2 from the air. Credit: Gerrit Trapp-Müller et al. A new study has ...

Could blending of crushed rock with arable soil lower global temperatures? Researchers study global warming events from 40 and 56 million years ago to find answers. The Earth is getting hotter and ...

Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and carbon capture and storage (CCS) are two distinct options to help achieve climate goals by reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. Carbon Dioxide Removal ...

Alphabet, Stripe, Shopify, and other companies struck a deal with startup Lithos to capture CO2 using rocks. It’s a major boost to a tactic for fighting climate change that has yet to prove itself at ...

Natural geological processes have been regulating Earth’s climate for millions of years. Accelerated versions of these processes are now being promoted as technologies to draw down carbon from the ...
