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 ...

In a letter dated June 30, 2025, Remineralize the Earth (RTE) joined 37 other coalition partners to urge the Senate Energy and Water Development Subcommittee to maintain robust investment in carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies for Fiscal Year 2026. Continued federal support is essential to maintain United States CDR technologies’ global competitiveness, mitigate climate change, and sustain job creation in this burgeoning industry.
Recent developments at the EPA saw Administrator Lee Zeldin’s abrupt freeze and attempted termination of ...
Emerging Climate Champions Award Launches for Youth-Led Climate Organizations
Are you working towards a better future for the planet? Could you use $1 million to help you fulfill your mission? Well, good news! On June 26, 2025, Lever for Change, the Enlight Foundation, and The Patchwork Collective launched the Emerging Climate Champions Award, a $25 million open call offering $1 million each to youth-led climate organizations worldwide. Recognizing that even though today’s youth will bear the burden of the adverse effects of climate change while youth-driven climate solutions receive only a fraction of a fraction of global philanthropic giving, ...
New Archive CDRXIV Captures Preprints for CDR Advancement
Recently, the climate solutions non-profit CarbonPlan announced the release of the CDRXIV, a server housing preprints and datasets pertaining to CDR.
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 ...
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 ...
Mati Carbon Wins $50M Grand Prize at XPRIZE Carbon Removal Competition
On Earth Day (April 23, 2025), the XPRIZE Carbon Removal competition announced that Mati Carbon took home the $50 million grand prize for its enhanced rock weathering program.

The term “missing middle” refers to the funding gap between early-stage innovation and large-scale commercial deployment. While the missing middle concept has become a mainstay in climate conversations – appearing in investment panels, policy discussions, and startup pitch decks – the real-world implications, especially for emerging carbon removal technologies like enhanced rock weathering (ERW), ...
Rock Dust And Ocean Chemistry: Exploring Carbon Removal’s Potential and Perils
Rock dust applied in marine environments could become a meaningful addition to a portfolio of carbon dioxide removal techniques that collectively can help to mitigate climate change, says marine biogeochemist Lennart Bach.
