Jim Mann calls the rocks that could help cool our planet his "magic dust" In a quarry surrounded by the din of heavy machinery Jim Mann crouches down and picks up a handful of tiny black rocks. "This ...

Most countries will not achieve climate neutrality through greenhouse gas emission reductions alone; carbon sinks are also needed to offset unavoidable emissions. Researchers are discussing technical ...

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 ...

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 ...

As humanity continues the arduous task of weaning itself off fossil fuels, there has been an increased onus on the development of carbon removal technologies. Unlike capture and storage, these aim to ...

It's one of the latest technologies for sequestering carbon: crush silicate rocks, add to crop soil, and let the rock dust naturally react with carbon dioxide. The reactions bind carbon into stable ...

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 ...
