Enhanced weathering accelerates the natural process of soil formation by applying finely crushed basalt to farmland, enhancing soil health while permanently removing CO₂. As rocks break down, they release essential nutrients, improve soil structure, and act as a powerful carbon sink. Soil, once a niche concern, is now central to boardrooms, policymakers, and supply chains as the biggest lever for supply chain emission reductions. Enhanced weathering not only strengthens food systems but also plays a critical role in tackling both food security and climate change.
Unlike industrial carbon removal methods that rely on costly infrastructure, enhanced weathering works within existing agricultural systems, removing CO₂ at a high density while improving soil health. It is one of the only on-farm solutions that directly cuts emissions at the source, delivers permanent, verifiable carbon removal, and aligns with SBTi FLAG targets for Scope 3 reductions—offering both immediate agricultural benefits and a scalable climate solution.
Modern agriculture is facing rising costs, changing regulations, and shifting market demands. Enhanced weathering reduces reliance on synthetic fertilisers while improving soil pH, water retention—building long-term resilience of both soils and supply chain. As markets increasingly reward low-emission, climate-smart produce, farms adopting enhanced weathering gain access to premium markets while future-proofing their land against soil degradation.
Enhanced weathering is one of the few scalable solutions for reducing Scope 3 emissions directly at the farm level. It delivers high-density, permanent carbon removal, independently verified and aligned with SBTi FLAG targets. Unlike traditional offsets, it integrates into supply chains as a tangible investment in soil health, food security, and rural resilience. For corporates, this means a clear, verifiable pathway to net zero—one that not only strengthens climate commitments but also supports stronger farming communities, cleaner waterways, and a more resilient supply chain.
