Natural rock weathering is a fundamental part of Earth’s carbon cycle but occurs over thousands of years. Enhancing this cycle by spreading fine volcanic rock on agricultural land is a form of ...

Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have conducted an ecosystem-wide assessment of enhanced rock weathering (ERW) in forest plantations. Led by ...

For many hundreds of millions of years, the average temperature at the surface of the Earth has varied by not much more than 20 degrees Celsius, facilitating life on our planet. To maintain such ...

It's one of the latest technologies for sequestering carbon: crush silicate rocks, add to crop soil, and let the rock dust naturally react with carbon dioxide. The reactions bind carbon into stable ...

Industry Insight from Ethical Corporation Magazine, a part of Thomson Reuters. Extreme rock weathering is a carbon removal technology that is attracting investment from likes of Microsoft The ...

Rice paddies in India that Mati Carbon works with. The nonprofit spreads crushed basalt rock on the fields to help boost crop yield and sequester carbon. Jake Jordan lives in St. Louis, but he travels ...

The Earth’s natural geological weathering cycle – in which rocks erode and make their way to the sea – traps CO2. But that can take millions of years. Scientists want to accelerate the process to ...

UC Davis researchers find adding crushed volcanic rock to farmlands can remove carbon dioxide from the air. This 'enhanced' rock weathering works even in dry climates. (Amy Quinton/UC Davis) Adding ...
