1/ After a thorough public consultation with hundreds of comments, Isometric today certified the world’s most comprehensive protocol for durable carbon removal through Enhanced Weathering (EW). Eion and InPlanet have signed up to the protocol.

New research published in Nature today finds that we are on track for climate damages worth $38 trillion per year by 2050. This is a staggering figure. The damages are projected to be worth 6x more than the mitigation costs of limiting global warming to 2C.

For enhanced weathering as CDR solution at scale we will need thousands and later millions of tons of rock dust.

Ever wondered how a mountain becomes rock dust and travels to the destination. Here is a fun-to-watch explainer video:

Published: New working paper with insights from our 2023 greenhouse experiment for measurements of enhanced weathering

BACKGROUND
We present insights we gained from CO₂ efflux, soil pCO₂ and soil water leachate alkalinity data of 400 greenhouse experiments for enhanced

Die Idee: Gesteinsmehl als natürlichen Dünger grossflächig auf Ackerland verteilen. Es reagiert mit CO2 aus der Luft u speichert es buchstäblich für immer. Projekte wie Carbon Drawdown Initiative forschen daran wie sich die Verwitterung ohne side effects beschleunigen u messen lässt. 2/4

Carbon Drawdown Initiative Es handelt sich um eine naturbasierte Methode, die die bewährte natürliche Methode der Erde zur Kontrolle der atmosphärischen CO2-Konzentration durch natürliche Gesteinsverwitterung effektiv kopiert. 3/4

The principal idea of enhanced weathering (EW) as a climate solution is to mix rock dusts into the soil to reroute a fraction of the natural carbon cycle through trapping CO₂ into the leachate water in the form of bicarbonates which are ultimately stored in the oceans.

The concept of EW (enhanced weathering for CDR) in one sentence: By adding rock dust to the soil we want to enhance the formation of bicarbonate in the leachate water which pulls carbon from the soil's carbon cycle down into the ground/groundwaters, thus lowering the available

NEP is launching the public consultation phase for the 📃Carbon Dioxide Removal ( #CDR ) Industry Commitments.

🤝We invite feedback from all stakeholders, as we are aiming to refine and enhance its provisions before finalisation.
