Field trials reveal crushed rock boosts carbon removal and improves crop yields Read the press release for our new paper on CO2 removal and increased crop yields via Enhanced Rock Weathering, recently published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Search How adding rock dust to soil can help get carbon into the ground Researchers are finding that when pulverised rock is applied to agricultural fields, the soil pulls far more carbon from the air and crop yields increase. Some scientists say this method shows significant benefits for farmers and the climate. 2 September 2021 | Yale Environment 360 Power to the people Dr Emily Cox suggests that to meet our decarbonisation goals, CO2 removal technologies are needed at scale. We need significant financial support, as well as mechanisms that can systematically build trust and dialogue across all parts of society. 1 September 2021 | Geoscientist Geological solutions for carbon dioxide removal To meet targets set in the Paris Agreement, we must stop emissions and actively strip carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Colleagues discuss enhanced rock weathering and carbon mineralisation, that show promise for CO2 removal. 1 September 2021 | Geoscientist BBC Radio Four '39 Ways to Save the Planet' – Magical Rockdust Discover how sprinkling rockdust on farm fields could help capture more carbon on the BBC Radio Four series '39 Ways to Save the Planet' featuring LC3M partner Rachael James, Professor of Geochemistry within the School of Ocean and Earth Science. 25 August 2021 | BBC Sounds Jurassic era CO2 claim belongs with the dinosaurs A Facebook user claims atmospheric carbon dioxide levels were 30 times higher during the Jurassic Period than at present, going on to suggest current levels of the greenhouse gas are lower than ever.
