Rocks, particularly the types created by volcanic activity, play a critical role in keeping Earth’s long-term climate stable and cycling carbon dioxide between land, oceans, and the atmosphere. In ...

A report in the journal Nature has revealed that enhanced rock weathering (ERW) could help slow climate change by sucking carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This process involves spreading rock dust ...

Frontier, a carbon capture buying consortium founded by Stripe, Alphabet, Shopify, Meta, and McKinsey, has signed $33 million in offtake agreements with enhanced rock weathering (ERW) firm Eion. As ...

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 ...

Limiting average global temperature rise to 2°C will require strong commitment and innovative solutions. In the first study of its type, a German team has assessed whether removing carbon dioxide from ...

Achieving the Paris Agreement goals of keeping global warming to “well below” 2C, or to 1.5C, above pre-industrial levels will require rapid decarbonisation of human society. But national commitments ...

Enhanced Rock Weathering accelerates natural carbon dioxide capture by spreading crushed rock on farmland ERW uses finely ground basalt to speed up weathering, locking carbon dioxide as bicarbonate ...

Rocks are not eternal. Even the tallest mountain will eventually dissolve and disintegrate. Geologists call this process “weathering.” It sounds harmless enough, but weathering is one of the most ...
