Enhanced rock weathering on farmland, carbon removal

GBprivateest. 2022un-do.com (opens un-do.com)Checked 11 Oct

The brief

Analyst view
  • 358,000 t of rock spread on 444 farms; 78,800 t of CO2 removal expected (company figures).
  • Buyers include Microsoft (15,000 t deal, 2024) and Barclays (6,538 t, 2025).
  • Uses basalt in the UK and Canadian wollastonite in Ontario.

Technical approach

As reported
Rock

Basalt and wollastonite

Crushed silicate rock, often a by-product of quarrying, is trucked to farms and spread like lime.

Measurement

Conservative, audited accounting

Rock analysis, field data and soil and water measurements estimate removal; transport emissions are tracked and deducted.
