Research so fresh it’s alive – microbes, wollastonite and carbon sequestration

Fresh off the press, this study makes the case that microbes play an important role in accelerated weathering reactions, the same reactions that are spurred on when wollastonite is spread on the soil.  Accelerated weathering is the breakdown of the silicate minerals in the soil creating carbonates, calcium carbonate in the case of wollastonite. Calcium […]

Adding rock dust to farmer’s fields captures carbon and boosts yields

Large-scale field trials of rock dust applications in agriculture are precisely what we need to harness the benefits of applying crushed calcium and magnesium silicates to agricultural fields. This summary reports on the early findings of a study currently in progress. The benefits of applying rock dust to agricultural fields are wide-ranging and economically affordable […]
