On a banana plantation in rural Australia, a second-generation farming family spreads crushed volcanic rock between rows of ripening fruit. Eight thousand kilometers away, two young men in central ...

A weird technology has emerged as a leader in the quest for net zero. But this form of carbon capture, called Enhanced Rock Weathering (or ERW for short), still requires innovation — and government ...

Rocks, particularly the types created by volcanic activity, play a critical role in keeping Earth’s long-term climate stable and cycling carbon dioxide between land, oceans, and the atmosphere. In ...

Could blending of crushed rock with arable soil lower global temperatures? Researchers study global warming events from 40 and 56 million years ago to find answers. The Earth is getting hotter and ...

The XPrize Foundation today announced the winners of its four-year, US $100 million XPrize competition in carbon removal. The contest is one of dozens hosted by the foundation in its 20-year effort to ...

Weathering of huge amounts of tiny rocks could be a means to reduce the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. While this is normally a slow natural process during which minerals chemically bind CO2, ...

A report in the journal Nature has revealed that enhanced rock weathering (ERW) could help slow climate change by sucking carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This process involves spreading rock dust ...

BELLEVUE, Wash--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Lithos Carbon announced Microsoft as a return carbon removal customer, having signed a new, three-year agreement to permanently remove CO₂ using Enhanced Rock ...

Reactions between rocks, rain and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have helped to stabilise the climate throughout Earth’s history, but they won’t prevent our carbon emissions from causing severe ...
