What do enhanced rock weathering and Coca-Cola have in common?

InPlanet’s Science and Impact Lead, Dr. Philipp Swoboda, our research lead on Rock Powders for Tropical Agriculture and Enhanced Weathering, breaks down Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and its impact on InPlanet. For a deeper dive, understanding Life Cycle Assessment of Rock Weathering is crucial to appreciating the full scope of our work. To better understand this complex process, we asked Dr. Swoboda to explain InPlanet’s LCA methodologies for our own Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) projects. Understanding the life cycle assessment of rock weathering in these projects helps in making informed decisions. What is a life cycle assessment (LCA)? LCA, or … Read more

How farmers can reduce fertilizer use and sequester carbon 

Inflation and rising input costs have put increasing pressure on farmers worldwide. With fertilizer prices soaring and environmental concerns growing, many are seeking sustainable alternatives. Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) is emerging as a game-changing solution, offering a natural way to enrich soil, sustain high yields, and sequester carbon. By using this method, farmers can reduce fertilizer use and sequester carbon effectively. At InPlanet, our team of scientists, including Dr. Philipp Swoboda (Impact and Science Lead), Dr. Marcelo Santoro (ERW Regional Manager), and Dr. Mayra Maniero Rodrigues (MRV Researcher), is at the forefront of ERW research. Through extensive field trials, we … Read more

Winning with farmers to scale regenerative agriculture successfully

Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is an important part of regenerative agriculture. Together they not only can change the way we live for the better by capturing carbon but can transform farming by improving soil health while increasing yields. However, this is only possible if farmers embrace these practices. Winning farmer trust and demonstrating clear benefits is key to scaling ERW successfully and seeing more farmers scaling regenerative agriculture. Farmers are directly responsible for implementing new methods on their land. Their willingness to adopt regenerative practices is crucial to the success of sustainability initiatives. Without their buy-in, even the best technologies … Read more

When do carbon credits make sense in your climate strategy

Carbon credits are one tool sustainability teams can use within a holistic climate leadership strategy. Deciding if, when and how to use them is a common conversation amongst teams of all sizes.  At GreenBiz25, I looked to gain more perspective, decision making frameworks and strategies from leaders who needed to answer the “if, when and how” questions themselves. Carbon buyers tend to discuss when they began exploring carbon credits in their climate action plans; why they chose to move forward with purchasing; how they allocate sustainability budgets across multiple climate initiatives; how they evaluate risk in climate leadership; and what … Read more

Reflections from the road: GreenBiz 25 Day 2

After an exciting first day, Day 2 brought a heightened sense of urgency, and the understanding that we live in the time of ‘The Big Loss Decades.’ From biodiversity collapse to the role of local leadership in climate action, the message was clear: We must think beyond short-term wins and start designing solutions beyond our current generation. These are just a few reflections from GreenBiz that highlight the importance of sustainable action. 1. The climate clock is ticking, and we’re in overtime One of the key takeaways was encapsulated by this quote from Tom Chi, Founding Partner, At One Ventures: … Read more

Reflections from the road: GreenBiz 25 shows sustainability can’t be a side hustle anymore
