DOI: 10.1029/2025rg000881
Abstract: For decades it has been observed that rates of silicate mineral reactions appear slower in field settings than when measured in the laboratory. Since the 1980s, researchers have proposed explanations for the discrepancy. Over that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41586-020-2448-9
Abstract: Enhanced silicate rock weathering (ERW), deployable with croplands, has potential use for atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) removal (CDR), which is now necessary to mitigate anthropogenic climate change1. ERW also has possible co-benefits for improved food… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42004-024-01361-6
Abstract: Mineral and rock additions to the environment have been proposed as a pathway to remove atmospheric CO2. This process occurs when hydrated minerals or rocks increase alkalinity, promoting the formation of bicarbonate. In this study,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/ac1818
Abstract: Meeting the net-zero carbon emissions commitments of major economies by mid-century requires large-scale deployment of negative emission technologies (NETs). Terrestrial enhanced rock weathering on croplands (ERW) is a NET with co-benefits for agriculture, soils and… read more here.
