Nutrient Cycling in Agroecosystems has recently announced that it is accepting submissions for an upcoming special issue of the journal dedicated to recent advances on enhanced rock weathering (ERW) as a land-based CO2 removal method in agroecosystems.

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 ...

$100M XPRIZE Carbon Removal Finalists Include Enhanced Rock Weathering Teams

“The climate math is becoming clear that we will need gigaton-scale carbon removal in the coming decades to avoid the worst effects of climate change. The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates the need at approximately 10 gigatonnes of net CO2 removal per year by the year 2050 in order to keep global temperature rise under 1.5 or 2C. As governments, companies, investors, and entrepreneurs make plans to meet this challenge, it is clear that we will need a range of carbon removal solutions to be proven through demonstration and deployment to complement work that is already underway.” --XPRIZE Foundation XPRIZE Foundation ...
