Section 1

Section 1 Accelerating Natural Processes Enhanced Rock weathering is a geoengineering technique that involves spreading crushed silicate rocks, like basalt, over agricultural land.

Section 2

Section 2 When it rains, the rock dissolves and reacts with CO2 in the soil, safely locking the carbon away as bicarbonate in the oceans for millennia.

Section 3

Section 3 Agricultural Benefits Beyond Carbon sequestration, this method naturally fertilizes the soil and can combat ocean acidification.

Section 4

Section 4 Enhanced weathering represents a promising, permanent carbon removal strategy.
