Update on RTE Project in Costa Rica
Jatropha Seeds
In partnership with Ocean Arks International's John Todd, RTE's research project in Costa Rica is currently documenting evidence of the enhanced growth of trees by using volcanic rockdust to enrich the soil while reforesting previously devastated, overgrazed grasslands. See this article to learn more about our efforts to increase carbon sequestration through remineralization in Costa Rica.

The Future of Carbon Removal is Enhanced Rock Weathering: Introducing the Everest Pulsar
When developing climate change solutions, one may look to Mother Nature for inspiration.
What Enhanced Weathering Opportunities Does the Acquisition of Eion Bring to Terradot?
With Terradot’s recent acquisition of Eion, two organizations specializing in enhanced rock weathering (ERW) have now merged.

Terradot is dedicated to the challenging task of stabilizing the world’s climate. Their ambition is to make a major contribution to the 10 gigatons of CO₂ that must be removed from the atmosphere every year by 2050, and their strategy is to advance the science, technology, and collaboration surrounding enhanced rock weathering (ERW). Terradot currently deploys ERW projects in Brazil, where the soil types, weather, and ...
Ukraine’s Path to Soil Remineralization
In a field in Eastern Ukraine, where heavy military equipment was moving just a few months ago, agronomists are now attempting to restore degraded soils by spreading finely ground basalt across the soil. What looks like an ordinary farming operation is, in fact, an attempt to build an evidence pipeline:mineral → field → measurement → standardization. This is where agronomic effects can already be observed on the ground, though the climate layer still requires formal Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) frameworks, that is, a transparent system for monitor...
Volcanoes, Soil, and the Carbon Clock: What Costa Rica Can Teach the World About Enhanced Rock Weathering
A 2024 study suggests Costa Rica may be offering the world a geological template for one of the most promising carbon removal strategies of our time.
Bridging the Time Gap: What “Durability” Means for Carbon Removal in Farm Landscapes
In the world of carbon dioxide removal (CDR), “permanence” is the gold standard. It asks: once carbon is removed from the atmosphere, how long will it stay sequestered? But there is another equally important question of time: what is the time lag between deployment and carbon removal?

The climate impact of any CDR strategy depends both on whether carbon stays in the ground and on when atmospheric concentrations actually begin to decline. Timing is ...
Volcanic Ash: A Unique Carbon Capture and Land Degradation Solution
While atmospheric carbon rightfully holds much of the spotlight in climate change discussions, climate change also exacerbates the often overlooked issue of land degradation, which the UN Food and Agriculture Organization describes as a “silent crisis” threatening food stability and agriculture across the globe.

In Tajikistan, 70% of arable land has shown signs of degradation, despite 70% of the country’s population relying on agriculture for income. The Mekong Delta in Vietnam, commonly ...
Alt Carbon in Darjeeling: Brewing better soil from India’s tea country
Enhanced rock weathering capitalizes on Darjeeling’s proximity to the Himalayas and a region of high temperatures, heavy rainfall, humidity, acidic soils, and large basaltic rock deposits.
Enhanced Weathering for Corn: Promise, Limits, Direction
Two recent field studies offer the clearest evidence yet of how enhanced rock weathering behaves in the U.S. Corn Belt.
COP30 InPlanet Discussion: Gigaton-Scale Carbon Removal in Brazil
To align with guidelines of the IPCC, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) must scale rapidly to gigatonne levels over the coming decades. This was the theme of a panel discussion at the COP30 Blue Zone, where Dr. Christina Larkin, vice president of science and research at InPlanet, Dr. David Manning, professor of soil science at Newcastle University, and Dr. Injy Johnstone, an environmental lawyer and NetZero expert, further explored issues raised by the InPlanet paper Unlocking Gigatonne-Scale Carbon Removal with Strategic Tipping Point Frameworks. Together, they explored the ...
Resilient Cacao Emerges Through Enhanced Weathering Strategies
Cover of Plants, People, Planet (Vol. 7, November 2025).
Cacao’s climate footprint is far larger than most consumers imagine, and incremental efficiency gains will not be enough to secure the crop’s future. A new paper in the journal Plants, People, Planet proposes a dual strategy: agroforestry for resilience and enhanced rock weathering (ERW) for carbon removal. However, it remains to be seen how scientific promise intersects with institutional constraints.
The paper begins with an overlooked but fundamental point: chocolate is a high-emissions commodity. ...
