“…Lithos Carbon Co-Founders Mary Yap and Dr. Noah Planavsky to tell us how the company accelerates mineral weathering by spreading basalt on croplands, and uses novel soil models and machine learning to maximize CO₂ removal while boosting crop growth.”
From the website:
“Basalt is the most abundant volcanic rock on earth, loaded with essential plant nutrients like iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and calcium. Applying basalt rock dust provides a steady nutrient flow to your field as it decomposes and sequesters carbon.
Carbon Removal for Farmers
Sequester Carbon and Earn Passively
Silicate minerals in crushed basalt permanently remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through a natural process called “enhanced rock weathering”.
With 3 tons of basalt application, you can capture up to 1 ton of CO2. Our software optimizes both for crop yield and carbon capture — making your land as productive as possible while you earn revenue from carbon removal.”
