All pathways to achieving the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to 1.5 ∘C or 2 ∘C require the large-scale removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. Many CO2 removal (CDR) strategies have been proposed, which vary widely in both price per ton...

A major new detailed simulation-based analysis reports the first robust estimates of net carbon sequestration for UK farmland by implementing enhanced rock weathering (EW) with basalt, a common natural silicate rock, between 2020 and 2070. Major findings are that EW...

Determining the potential of UK croplands to sequester CO2 via enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is important for farmers, government, policymakers, NGOs, and other stakeholders aiming to deliver UK net-zero by 2050. This goal requires drawing on a range of approaches,...
