From Soil to Summit: Brazil and China join forces in groundbreaking research on soil remineralization

Set against colossal mountains shaped by tectonic forces, the Great Wall of China embodies the persistence and courage of its people. For geologist Suzi Huff Theodoro, it speaks to geological processes and a diversity of rocks. It was a fitting symbol of the deep potential for remineralization, with opportunities continuing to unfold for China and Brazil through scientific collaboration. A professor of environment and rural development at the University of Brasília, Theodoro recently traveled to China to present research on soil remineralization (rochagem) — taking her nation’s expertise in grinding rocks for agriculture to a country rapidly ...

Enhanced Weathering Alliance and Carbon Business Council Join Forces

The Enhanced Weathering Alliance (EWA) and the Carbon Business Council (CO2BC) are joining forces to streamline collaboration, reduce administrative burden, and keep participation affordable for early-stage companies. The goal of the move is to support shared efforts on policy, registries, data transparency, and commercial challenges, allowing enhanced rock weathering (ERW) stakeholders to stay informed and connected as the industry grows. Adam Wolf, co-founder of Enhanced Weathering Alliance “CO2BC is a coalition with more than 100 carbon removal companies, and they have a team in place to support EWA on policy, communications, and operati...
