From sugar plantations in Brazil to tea estates in India, crushed rock is being sprinkled across large stretches of farmland ...

A technique known as “enhanced rock weathering” promises to remove billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere. But it’s crucial to be able to measure how much CO₂ is ...

Rock rich in calcium and/or magnesium, such as basalt, can be crushed and spread over the soil to capture CO₂. The rock can be mined for this purpose or obtained as a byproduct from other mines ...
