For many hundreds of millions of years, the average temperature at the surface of the Earth has varied by not much more than 20° Celsius, facilitating life on our planet. To maintain such stable ...

A technique known as “enhanced rock weathering” may help remove carbon from the atmosphere, and a model shows the method will only leak minimal carbon if its products are stored in the ocean.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The natural process of rock weathering could be emitting as much ...

Natural rock weathering is a fundamental part of Earth’s carbon cycle but occurs over thousands of years. Enhancing this cycle by spreading fine volcanic rock on agricultural land is a form of ...

The application of crushed rock to farmers' fields may not only reduce greenhouse gases, it could also boost crop yields by up to 16%. These are the findings of a new study conducted by scientists ...

Israeli researchers are working to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by speeding up the natural weathering process by which rain dissolves rock. In nature, rain absorbs CO2 from the ...

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 ...

OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eion, a carbon removal company turning the proven science of enhanced rock weathering (ERW) into a scalable climate solution, today announced it completed partial ...

UC Davis researchers find adding crushed volcanic rock to farmlands can remove carbon dioxide from the air. This 'enhanced' rock weathering works even in dry climates. (Amy Quinton/UC Davis) Adding ...

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 ...
