From sugar plantations in Brazil to tea estates in India, crushed rock is being sprinkled across large stretches of farmland ...

In the past, rock quarries would didn't have much use for the basalt rock dust that was a waste product of their mining process. So, they let it pile up into mini mountains as high as 125 feet ...

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

Andy Haverly aims to save Earth by using a 1960s project to extract geological materials from the ocean floor.

“It takes at least a year of consistent efforts and reporting to be able to generate sufficient data. Once the Bureau of ...

Crushing basalt into fine dust is a form of enhanced rock weathering that accelerates natural chemical processes to reduce CO 2 in the atmosphere and also enriches nutrients in soil.. Mati founder ...

The trials will test the effect of basalt application rate (two rates plus control) over four years (plant crop plus three ratoons). In all trials, we’ll be assessing the weathering rate by measuring ...

A growing number of scientists believe crushed basalt, a volcanic rock used in roads, could be used as a fertiliser, with trials showing it can improve soil and capture carbon.

And if enhanced weathering ends up costing $80 to $180 per ton of CO 2, as Beerling’s group predicted, it may be cheaper than direct air capture ($400 to $1,000 per ton right now), and similar ...

Jake Jordan lives in St. Louis, but he travels a lot for his work. As Mati Carbon’s chief science officer, Jordan often finds himself halfway around the world in India or Africa, checking in with one ...

Alt Carbon deploys enhanced rock weathering using waste basalt rock dust from mines and quarries in the volcanic igneous province of Rajmahal Traps, located in eastern India.

Among the more unconventional climate change reversal methods: a giant nuclear bomb. A large explosion under the ocean floor would shatter basalt rock into tiny pieces, which would then react with ...
