Silicate
Company Description
Removing carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere is essential to limiting global temperature increase to 1.5˚C. Solutions that can reliably and safely scale permanent carbon removal are essential to achieving our climate goals.
Silicate harnesses a natural geochemical process, mineral weathering, to permanently and safely remove excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Silicate’s material is applied to agricultural land as a soil pH amendment. As it weathers, it can boost crop productivity, reduce the need for pesticides and fertilizers, and permanently remove excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Silicate’s pioneering work in terrestrial enhanced weathering could allow a promising carbon removal pathway to become an effective, verifiable, and rapidly scalable climate solution.
