GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - In a win for both farmers and environmentalists, researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have successfully quantified the CO2-reduction potential of ...
A recent study published in Global Change Biology examines a novel carbon capture technique known as enhanced weathering (EW) that involves the application ground-up silicate rock to Midwestern farm ...
The Illinois team was able to calculate both the weathering rate and carbon dioxide reduction potential of the basalt rock amendments applied to maize and miscanthus fields. Those factors are critical ...
Scientists want $60 million to try trapping carbon dioxide in the sea floor off the coast of Canada. They say reactive basalt rock across the planet could turn CO2 into rock at the bottom of the ocean ...
Runners, bicyclists and walkers in Columbia Park have probably noticed a couple 1,500-pound basalt slabs installed along the path in recent days. Those are part of one local teacher’s decades-long ...
If I am ever kidnapped, blindfolded and then dropped off somewhere between the Anthony Lakes Highway and Ladd Canyon, I’d like to believe I would quickly recognize roughly where I was. Assuming it was ...
Applying ground-up silicate rock to Midwestern farm fields can capture significant amounts of carbon dioxide and prevent it from accumulating in the atmosphere, according to a new study that ...
