New #enhancedweathering paper: Cation tracing reveals substantial weathering but no inorganic C sequestration. While inorganic C storage may lag behind, secondary reactions & cation retention may support soil organic C stabilization. #CDR @arthurvienne.bsky.social soil.copernicus.org/articles/12/...

Weathering without realizing inorganic CO2 removal revealed through base cation monitoring
Abstract. Enhanced Weathering using basalt rock dust is a scalable carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technique, but quantifying rock weathering and CDR rates poses a critical challenge. Here, we investigat...

Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) is a marine CO2 removal method that uses alkaline material to increase the storage capacity for anthropogenic CO2 in seawater. Kiyas investigated how hydroxide (NaOH) induces taxonomic shifts in plankton. She found: 👇 🌊 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

📢Just out @globalchangebio.bsky.social: Soil organic carbon (SOC) is key for #enhancedweathering. We found negligible inorganic CO₂ removal, but considerable SOC storage potential. @boitolucilla.bsky.social @arthurvienne.bsky.social @patrickfrings.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Beyond Inorganic C: Soil Organic C as a Key Pathway for Carbon Sequestration in Enhanced Weathering
Enhanced weathering involves spreading crushed silicates on soils. Upon weathering of the applied silicates, CO2 is captured via two pathways: pedogenic carbonate formation and leaching of bicarbonat....

1) No taxonomic shifts could be detected when alkalinity additions (500 umol/kg, i.e. substantial!) are matched with immediate CO2 influx (i.e. pH excursions are minimal). Thus, the extra CO2 stored as bicarbonate in seawater did not negatively or positively affect the community. 🌊

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.

www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1 mol Mg2SiO4 + 2 mol CaCO3 => 2 MgO + Ca2SiO4 (and approx 3 mol CO2 emitted for calcination) gives 8 mol CO2, or net 5 mol CO2 sequestered.👏 Interesting thermochemical olivine upgrading approach and an alternative to electrochemical olivine ==> Mg(OH)2. (1/2)

Reactions of Mg-rich silicates with calcium carbonates/sulfates result in the formation of materials that could potentially be used for low-cost carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere.

📣New preprint! Enhanced weathering (EW) isn’t only about inorganic carbon. Our study shows (1) that weathering ≠ CO2 removal #CDR & (2) that the impact of EW on organic matter decomposition and stabilization is key for reliably estimating actual #CDR. www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-5...

Are enhanced rock weathering rates overestimated? Here, we aim to contribute to the conversation around quantifying carbon dioxide removal in ERW applications while highlighting three aspects of rock powders' geochemical and mineralogical compositions that can lead to overestimating rates. #CDR

Interesting study that concludes processing ultramaphic rock to Mg(OH)2 may be an attractive pathway for CDR.
