A new study reveals that implementing enhanced weathering (EW), the practice of adding crushed basalt to soils, with U.S.

The estimated costs of carbon removal by EW vary depending on the proximity of the croplands to the states providing basalt. Costs of CDR are highest ...

Enhanced weathering, involving the addition of crushed basalt to soils, could significantly aid U.S. agriculture in removing 160-300 million metric tons of CO 2 annually by 2050, potentially ...

A new study has revealed a new approach to help the US meet its Net Zero target by 2050; this new innovative solution ...

We are capturing the effects of crops on basalt weathering through analysis of leachate from each plot, which is automatically collected by tile drains at a single location, and its feedback on crop ...

Deploying basalt-based enhanced rock weathering (ERW) in US agriculture could remove between 160-300 million tonnes of CO2 annually by 2050, and 250-490 mln tonnes by 2070, according to a new study ...

ERW is a carbon removal technique that accelerates the natural process of rock weathering. It works by grinding silicate rocks, like basalt, into fine particles and spreading them over land. This ...
