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.

“CO2BC is a coalition with more than 100 carbon removal companies, and ...
Carbon Business Council’s Roadmap for Enhanced Rock Weathering
As more industry players realize the importance of offsetting carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions as part of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) goal of achieving carbon net zero emissions by 2050, enhanced rock weathering (ERW) has emerged as a highly promising method of carbon removal.
In March 2024, the Carbon Business Council (CO2BC) published a policy primer addressing opportunities, key challenges, and proposed policy recommendations aimed at accelerating advancement, deployment, and scaling of ERW. The primer resulted from the collaboration of thought ...

Yale Research Team Uses Unique Natural Laboratory, a Watershed, to Study Enhanced Rock Weathering
Recently, Yale Professor James Saiers started a project at the Sleepers River Research Watershed focusing on how enhanced weathering can consume CO2 and how this process influences the biogeochemistry of the watershed.
5th Brazilian Congress of Remineralizers Conference
Event: V Congresso Brasileiro de Rochagem
Date: July 8 – 11, 2025
Location: Piracicaba, Brazil
Host organization: Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture, University of Sao Paulo
Seminar description: After 15 years of the realization of the 1st Brazilian Congress of Remineralizers, the theme of remineralization gained prominence in Brazil and in the world. Soil remineralizers (REM), are derived from silicate rocks and when properly used, improve soil conditions since they behave as multifunctional inputs (nutrient source, acid neutralization, colloid neofor...
