Removing 1 billion tons of carbon while transforming Tropical Agriculture

With InPlanet, you can remove your hard-to-abate emissions permanently. We deliver high-quality carbon removal credits derived from Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW). Operating in the tropical regions of Brazil where weathering rates are faster, our process ensures quicker and more efficient CO₂ removal. By purchasing from us, you actively support the regeneration of tropical soils, while removing carbon from the atmosphere.

How Enhanced Rock Weathering Works

What is Enhanced Rock Weathering?

1.

Mining and Processing

Rock residues are collected at basalt mines in Brazil, and processed on-site into a fine powder to be sent to farmers.

2.

Transportation

Rock powder is transported within 100km of the location of the mine.

3.

Spreading and Weathering

Our partner farmers spread the rock powder on their land, in line with their standard fertilization practices.

4.

Sequestration

Following the first rainfall carbon removal happens as the CO2 dissolved in rainwater forms carbonic acid (H2CO3) and reacts with the basalt rock to form bicarbonate (HCO3-) a stable form of carbon which is eventually stored in the oceans for 10,000s of years.

Carbon Removal Comparison

Enhanced Weathering is Carbon Removal as nature intended.

Comparing enhanced weathering with other options on the market, it ensures a carbon removal solution that has high permanence, with low cost and avoids CO₂ production in the process. The result is high quality carbon removal credits with numerous agricultural benefits.

Our Advantage

More than carbon removal, Enhanced Rock Weathering helps to create real impact.

Every decarbonization strategy is unique. At InPlanet, we are committed to designing your carbon removal journey to align with your climate goals. Our technology is proven, safe, and has distinct advantages as outlined below.

Tropical Conditions

The storage of CO2 through agricultural activity has increased benefits due to tropical soil conditions of high heat and precipitation – which increase weathering rates.

Local Sourcing

The applied rock powder replenishes essential minerals and nutrients, correcting pH levels and increasing fertility for healthier soils.

Durable

Through Enhanced Rock Weathering, carbon is geologically captured as a bicarbonate and transferred to the ocean, where it remains permanently stored.

Scaleable

The rock powder used in our projects is repurposed from local mining operations. Our projects are implemented on agricultural land and rely on existing infrastructure.

UN Sustainable Development Goals

How Enhanced Rock Weathering contributes to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

We are committed to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals through our pioneering approach to combating climate change. We directly contribute to at least six SDGs. This is how ERW specifically impacts these goals.
