A Buyers Guide to Enhanced Rock Weathering

Welcome to the kick-off episode of our new series: A Buyer's Guide to VCM Projects, where we introduce different projects within the Voluntary Carbon Market. Our first episode will present the groundbreaking carbon removal solution of Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW). We'll explore how the solution effectively mitigates CO2 from the atmosphere by enhancing natural processes with valuable insights from leading experts in the field.

‍
Ella Holme from Isometric will first introduce us to ERW and explain the characteristics of a high-quality project. Following her, Felix Harteneck from InPlanet and Jim Mann from UNDO will share their hands-on experience with developing ERW projects. They will illustrate how ERW, when applied to agricultural soils, ensures permanent CO2 removal and what potential differences might be when implementing this technology in the Global South.This episode aims to provide insights into Enhanced Rock Weathering, looking into what it is, how it works and how it can permanently remove and store CO2-enhancing natural processes.
