The Earth’s natural geological weathering cycle – in which rocks erode and make their way to the sea – traps CO2. But that can take millions of years. Scientists want to accelerate the process to ...
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 ...

It's one of the latest technologies for sequestering carbon: crush silicate rocks, add to crop soil, and let the rock dust naturally react with carbon dioxide. The reactions bind carbon into stable ...
UC Davis researchers find adding crushed volcanic rock to farmlands can remove carbon dioxide from the air. This 'enhanced' rock weathering works even in dry climates. (Amy Quinton/UC Davis) Adding ...
