Soil Remineralization, Climate Resilience, and Environmental Geochemistry: Insights from the 2024 Goldschmidt Conference
The 2024 Goldschmidt Conference took place from August 18-23 in Chicago, Illinois, and covered a broad range of topics, including innovative solutions to improving soil health, food security, and climate resilience.
Milkywire’s Climate Transformation Fund Goes Above and Beyond for Enhanced Weathering
The perennial question surrounding carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is one of funding. Until recently, this had been especially true of enhanced rock weathering (ERW), where unanswered questions surrounding efficacy and scalability stymied all but the most concerted efforts to fund ERW initiatives. Now, despite the field’s relative immaturity, there has been a windfall in investment opportunities for ERW projects and companies. In May 2024, Milkywire selected 13 projects to support, including Flux and Mati Carbon, through their Climate Transformation Fund.
The Climate Transformation Fund is one of five funds in Milkywire’s portfolio. It was ...
India’s Potential for Food Security and Climate Stabilization
Dr. Tedros Ghebreyefus has warned: “There is no vaccine for climate change.” While this is currently true, recent advances in nature-based carbon dioxide removal strategies may offer an effective treatment of the problem.
Enhanced Rock Weathering and Rock Dust Application in China
China's abundant limestone deposits and diverse climate make it an ideal candidate for exploring enhanced rock weathering's potential.

In Flux: Former UK Army Officer Leads Revolutionary Rock-Weathering Company In Kenya
Flux is collaborating with UNCCD (United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification) and consulting with Remineralize the Earth on a mineral-rock trial with 50 smallholder Western Kenyan farmers.
Rock Dust Is Effective to Fight Climate Change, University of Illinois Energy Farm Finds
A new field study led by University of Illinois researcher Ilsa Kantola demonstrates how we can use rock dust weathering to greatly enhance carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere.
Revolutionary Carbon Capture Method Integrated into Wastewater Treatment Plants
Joachim Katchinoff and Kevin Vu of Crew Carbon
In episode #80 of Open Air’s video series, “This is CDR”, featured Joachim Katchinoff and Kevin Vu from Crew Carbon. This company approaches carbon removal through enhanced weathering in wastewater facilities. Crew Carbon's approach combines nature-based solutions with engineered processes to enhance carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and help combat climate change.
Enhanced weathering is the process of accelerating the natural weathering reactions that remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere by exposing rocks to CO2-rich compounds. This process dissolves the rocks and converts CO2 into a ...
InPlanet Takes On Climate Change and Advances Sustainable Farming with Local Soil Remineralizers
Is it possible to fight climate change while simultaneously supporting regenerative farming practices? The company InPlanet is showing that the answer is yes.
A Breakthrough in Verifying Carbon Dioxide Removal by Rock Dust Weathering
For over a billion years, rock weathering has played a central role in regulating Earth's climate. So what’s behind the rock-climate connection? It turns out...
