Chemistry accelerates enhanced rock weathering

  • When it comes to combating climate change, reducing emissions is step one.
  • But after eliminating CO2 sources, Earth’s carbon cycle will take centuries to remove enough of the greenhouse gas to begin lowering global temperatures.
  • Scientists want to give those natural processes a boost.
  • On Monday at the 36th annual Goldschmidt conference on geochemistry, Stanford University’s Matt Kanan and other scientists gathered to discuss one possible approach: enhanced rock weathering.
