It's one of the latest technologies for sequestering carbon: crush silicate rocks, add to crop soil, and let the rock dust ...

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 ...

A technique known as “enhanced rock weathering” may help remove carbon from the atmosphere, and a model shows the method will only leak minimal carbon if its products are stored in the ocean.

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 ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The natural process of rock weathering could be emitting as much ...

What if cropdusting could cool down the climate? What about rockdusting? Turns out sprinkling rock dust on fields may enhance a process called rock weathering, capable of trapping and removing ...

A tractor drives across a grassy field, facing the camera, between rows of wire trellises over plants pruned close to the ground. Clouds of finely ground rock spray out on either side. As part of the ...

Israeli researchers are working to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by speeding up the natural weathering process by which rain dissolves rock. In nature, rain absorbs CO2 from the ...

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 ...

Lithos Carbon, the leader in permanent carbon capture through enhanced rock weathering, today announced the appointment of Rob Hranac as Chief Operating Officer. Rob brings extensive experience in ...

With traditional carbon sinks like the Amazon rainforest facing an uncertain future, scientists are looking to get creative with their efforts to slow the buildup of CO2 in the atmosphere. A new study ...

Farmers around the world could help the planet reach a key carbon removal goal set by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) by mixing crushed volcanic rocks into their fields, a new ...
