Update on RTE Project in Costa Rica
Jatropha Seeds
In partnership with Ocean Arks International's John Todd, RTE's research project in Costa Rica is currently documenting evidence of the enhanced growth of trees by using volcanic rockdust to enrich the soil while reforesting previously devastated, overgrazed grasslands. See this article to learn more about our efforts to increase carbon sequestration through remineralization in Costa Rica.

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.

Navigating Geological Contrasts: Strategies for Sustainable Agriculture in Tanzania
Tanzania exhibits highly contrasting geology, which plays a crucial role in its strengths and limitations for agricultural development. Certain areas of the region contain abundant minerals for fertile soils while others suffer from depletion. This disparity arises largely from the region's unique geomorphological features, notably its location along the East African Rift System (EARS). The EARS is an extensive continental rift valley beginning at the Red Sea in the north, and extending eastward into the Indian Ocean (Wood & Turn). The rift is actively forming through ...
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.
AG-USA and the Agricultural Benefits of Sea-Based Minerals
Balanced soil creates nutrient-dense plants, and when animals eat these plants, they become stronger and healthier.

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.
$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 ...
