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

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

Enhanced rock weathering is a way to accelerate one of the Earth’s natural processes for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It works like this: Carbon dioxide in the air dissolves into ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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.

Our field trials are an integral part of the LC3M project, and form the backbone of our Theme 3: Applied weathering science. Here we catch up with the progress on our oil palm field site in Sabah, ...

To simulate methanogens’ exposure to metals during rock weathering, the researchers cultured Methanosarcina acetivorans C2A, a common model methanogen, and provided it with either crushed ...
