Source pathway descriptionEnhanced rock weathering: spreading 24,000 tonnes of crushed basalt rock over three years on British agricultural land. The process accelerates natural geological weathering whereby CO₂ in rainwater interacts with silicate rocks such as basalt, forming stable bicarbonate ions which are transported to the ocean where it resides over geological timescales.
Storage descriptionPermanent storage as stable bicarbonate ions transported to the ocean, residing over geological timescales.
Delivery window3 years (from 2023)
Project locationBritish agricultural land (1,200 hectares)
