InPlanet at EGU General Assembly 2025

Dr. Philipp Swoboda at EGU on the Agronomic Benefits of ERW Recently, Dr. Philipp Swoboda, Impact and Science Lead at InPlanet, participated in the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2025 held in Vienna, Austria. On April 28th, he delivered a presentation on Agronomic co-benefits of enhanced rock weathering (ERW) with basalt applied to sugarcane grown on acidic soil in Brazil. The EGU General Assembly is an annual event that brings together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting, covering all geoscience disciplines. This year, the event welcomed 20,984 attendees, of whom 18,646 made their way to Vienna … Read more

How we developed and delivered the world’s first certified ERW carbon credits

Issuing a verified carbon credit isn’t simple. It requires precise measurement, strict compliance with evolving regulations, and third-party validation. InPlanet recently announced its development and delivery of certified carbon credits in Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) as the first in the world, a milestone for the entire Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) industry. As InPlanet’s Head of Carbon, Dr. Matthew Clarkson put it: “To allow us to have the standard to issue that credit, we have to align with scientific best practices, follow strict protocols, and pass independent validation. It’s complex, but it’s what makes our credits truly credible.” The journey of … Read more

How do we measure carbon dioxide removal?

Quantifying Carbon Dioxide Removal Through Enhanced Weathering: A manuscript Enhanced weathering (EW) is emerging as an exciting new carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technique. Enhanced weathering is scalable now and has a staggering potential to remove gigatonnes of CO2 annually. However, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of CDR with EW – how we measure its effectiveness – is widely viewed as the biggest barrier to scaling of the technique. Robust MRV is crucial to the widespread operationalization of EW. Ultimately, trust in the EW industry depends on these three letters.   To bring greater transparency to the topic, InPlanet’s research team has … Read more
