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.

Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is a novel technique to combat climate change by speeding up carbon capture in farmland.

John Hamel, winemaker of Hamel Family Wines, is deeply passionate about expressing terroir in his wine. The results are a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Enhanced rock weathering aims to replicate a natural part of Earth’s carbon cycle: Silicate rock, such as volcanic basalt, is spread over agricultural land, where exposure to precipitation ...

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.

Climate change is a big deal and is probably one of the most pressing existential threats we face as a species. If we are unable to change the current trajectory for global warming, we may see not ...
