Study finds enhanced rock weathering on farmland reduces CO₂ emissions and combats climate change.

A recent study highlights enhanced rock weathering, where crushed rock is spread over farmland, as a promising method to reduce CO₂ emissions and combat climate change. By decreasing organic matter decomposition, this technique can lower methane emissions and improve soil health. While estimates of CO₂ removal vary, accurate measurement and further research are essential for effective implementation and achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
