A new study published in the journal Nature has overturned the view that natural rock weathering acts as a CO2 sink, indicating instead that this can also act as a large carbon dioxide source, ...

Weathering of huge amounts of tiny rocks could be a means to reduce the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. While this is normally a slow natural process during which minerals chemically bind CO2, ...

ERW typically employs rocks rich in silicates that can help convert CO 2 into bicarbonate. These bicarbonate ions are washed ...

During the Ordovician period, the concentration of CO2 in the earth's atmosphere was about eight times higher than today. It has been hard to explain why the climate cooled and why the Ordovician ...

Hebrew University experts continue in footsteps of researcher who built special reactor that flushes CO2, seawater through stone columns, but science yet to be tested on large scale ...

OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eion, a carbon removal company turning the proven science of enhanced rock weathering (ERW) into a scalable climate solution, today announced it completed partial ...

The natural rock weathering process, while effective in breaking down carbon and storing it within rocks over thousands of years, may not provide the immediate solution to combat climate change. With ...

Evidence from the age of the dinosaurs to today shows that chemical weathering of rocks is less sensitive to global temperature, and may depend on the steepness of the surface. The results call into ...

On a banana plantation in rural Australia, a second-generation farming family spreads crushed volcanic rock between rows of ripening fruit. Eight thousand kilometers away, two young men in central ...
