Agronomic Benefits of Basalt Rock Powder on Citrus Farms: Insights from Project Aracari

Introduction InPlanet has achieved the next historic milestone in the Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) landscape with its second issuance (and only fourth ever globally) of certified ERW carbon credits from Project Aracari. A total of 319.97 tCDR were verified for this project via the deployment of basalt on citrus orchards. The credits were the 2nd issued under the Isometric enhanced weathering protocol, following InPlanet’s issuance of the world’s first ERW credits at the end of last year. They were independently verified by 350 solutions. From this project, 200 tonnes have been delivered to our partner, Klimate. Beyond the durable carbon … Read more

Learnings from InPlanet’s first deployment

Authors: Matthew Clarkson, Christina Larkin, Junyao Kang  Acknowledgements We gratefully acknowledge the support and contributions of the many individuals that made this deployment a reality including the mining and farming partners, Antonio Azevedo, Mariane Chiapini, Jessica Ferrarezi, Marcella Daubermann, Veronica Furey, Niklas Kluger, David Manning, Murilo Nascimento, Elisabete Pedrosa, Igor Nogueira, Bruno Ramos, Felipe Reis, Mayra Maniero Rodrigues, Leticia Schwerz, Karla Nascimento Sena, Philipp Swoboda, Jeandro Vitorio Reviewed by: Zeke Hausfather, Frauke Kracke Introduction Robust and transparent Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) is paramount for establishing the credibility of the nascent Enhanced Weathering (EW) industry. For EW, translating theoretical geochemical … Read more

Rock powder dissolution and carbon capture: How to best understand it

In this blog, Dr Junyao Kang, Data Analysis and Modeling Lead,  and Dr. Matthew Clarkson, Head of Carbon at InPlanet share about Rock Powder Dissolution and Carbon Capture processes, CO₂ capture quantification, and the challenges posed by fertilizers. The dissolution process and cation release At the core of Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) is the dissolution of rock powder, which releases essential cations into the soil system. As Dr. Junyao Kang explains: “You can see all these dark particles as our rock powder spreads onto the surface of the soil. We see dissolution happening, releasing important cations for our enhanced rock … Read more

Achieving sustainable development goals with enhanced weathering

Green field with Sustainable Development Goals icons laid side-by-side

At InPlanet, we are committed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals through our pioneering approach to combating climate change. By applying the natural process of Enhanced Weathering (EW) for Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR), we directly contribute to at least six SDGs.

Learn how Enhanced Rock Weathering plays a fundamental role in our efforts to create a sustainable future.
