Today we spread > 1 ton of basalt rock dust in a recently planted forest with the UAntwerp #enhancedweathering team. 🌳+🌋
It’s all happening down at the Silicate stall in the #AgTechVillage at #ploughing22 . You can find us in the #enterpriseireland #InnovationArena . Come say hi! 🚜 #carbonremoval #enhancedweathering
Today's #CO2fact : Once a tree dies, is cut or burnt down, the stored CO2 is released back into the air.
The unique property of #olivine is that the stone removes CO2 in a permanent way

#EnhancedWeathering is hard to visualize. I heard it mentioned in #CarbonNegativeShot , so I’m sharing pics to help visualize. White stuff are carbonates (MgCO3) being formed from #CO2 reacting with waste rock in a mine. “Enhancing” = scaling, hastening, and auditing this #CDR .
Beautiful snowy scenes of climate tech in action ❄️
We spread approximately 1750 tonnes of crushed basalt rock over 195 acres of land on this corn farm in Washington.
The field was covered over again with fresh snow the next day!

Update from the #projectcarbdown greenhouse laboratory for carbon dioxide removal with #enhancedweathering : after the electrical installations (600 m of power/ethernet cables) we have now added 200 m of water pipes for our high accuracy irrigation system.
This is what our monthly sampling session from the XXL lysimeters on the #projectcarbdown field looks like. Samples are then taken to Analytik Institut Rietzler just a few hundred meters away for the extensive lab work.
We measure #enhancedweathering !

We are glad to present our new PyMiCCS project by CEN Uni Hamburg @cenunihh.bsky.social, HochschuleGeisenheim & Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research PIK🥳🎂🥂We will investigate how to ideally combine the #CDR methods #Biochar & #EnhancedWeathering to improve #CO2 sequestration & agricultural soil quality🌄🌱 fona.de/en/measures/fu…
Today's #CO2fact ! CO2 levels are at a record high and if we want to meet the #ParisAgreement , #CO2reduction is not sufficient - we also need to remove Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere.

The #EIC_BAM project celebrated its first birthday! Time to evaluate progress, and carefully plan the upcoming batch and reactor experiments. We met with the project review committee, who provided top advice. #bio #enhancedweathering #innovation #EUeic
This weekend I moved rocks by hand for a tiny rock garden (+ #EdibleLandscaping and #NativePlants ). 🌱 It really exemplified to me that in situ #mineralization > moving rocks for any reason 😮💨 Rocks are heavy and it’s energy intensive! #CDR #EnhancedWeathering
Thank you carbonfuture_ and Credit Suisse/XPRIZE for the invite to Carbon Removal Basel and Carbon Negative Conference 3.0 in San Francisco. Super events, both! #enhancedweathering #carbonremoval
Winter oats emerging nicely in the latest field scale trial investigating the agronomic benefits of #EnhancedWeathering using #CrushedBasalt
🌱Our PyMiCCS column experiments have started⛰
#enhancedweathering & #biochar remove #CO2 from the atmosphere. How can we best combine the 2 #CDR methods?
CDRterra researchers Dr. Maria-Elena Vorrath @mevorrath.bsky.social & Thorben Amann have launched their 1st experiment CEN Uni Hamburg @cenunihh.bsky.social👏🏾.

It is so nice to see that #enhancedweathering is gaining traction, after so many years of theoretical and lab work.
🌱PyMiCCS-Säulenexperimente starten⛰
#enhancedweathering & #Pflanzenkohle entziehen der Atmosphäre #CO2 . Wie kann man die beiden #CDR -Verfahren kombinieren?

Which silicates could be best used for #enhancedweathering ? This column experiment sheds some light! First article by PhD candidate Emily te Pas #celebration 🥳 #proudsupervisor
