Sustainability Performance of ERW in Brazil is Exceptional
Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) is gaining traction as a promising Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technology. Its potential to play a significant role in mitigating climate change is proven and permanent. While ERW is considered comparable to other CDR methods and markets in terms of sustainability, research highlights that the sustainability performance of ERW deployment in Brazil is in fact, exceptional. Brazil’s unique advantages Published life cycle analysis (LCA) showcases Brazil’s unique advantages for ERW, demonstrating its high CDR potential with minimal negative impacts. Several factors contribute to this “exceptional” sustainability performance: Minimal environmental impacts ERW, in general, exhibits low resource … Read more
