USING ROCK TO PULL CARBON FROM THE ATMOSPHERE
LITHOS CARBON
1 Basalt rock reacts with rainwater and locks up atmospheric CO2 as bicarbonate.
2 The rock dust naturally helps regenerate soil, increasing crop yields.
3 Lithos measures the carbon removed, with the help of Yale and Georgia Tech researchers.
4 Researchers trace the carbon as it flows off crops, through rivers, and into the ocean.
5 Bicarbonates become corals and shells and are permanently locked away on the ocean floor.
TO COMBAT RISING TEMPERATURES, WE not only need to reduce carbon emissions but also remove billions of tons of carbon from the atmosphere. A variety of enterprises are focusing on removing carbon from the air, but many of their approaches employ expensive technologies and will take years to have any meaningful effect.
