Conducting Enhanced Rock Weathering utilising materials with high concentrations of calcium or magnesium cations (Ca2+, Mg2+) which have the highest carbon removal capacity.

MAIN OBJECTIVES

  • Assessing crushed concrete & basalt impact on soil pH and yields

  • Reducing reliance on costly fertilisers with positive environmental effects

  • Examining Basalt/Concrete Dust as a Lime alternative for farming

  • Assessing Carbon sequestration benefits for farms and the environment

  • Achieving verified Carbon Credits through our initiatives

OUR 4 STAGE PROCESS

We work closely with our clients to develop customised land management plans that meet their specific needs and goals. Our plans take into account local regulations, environmental concerns, and long-term sustainability.

STAGE 1

Firstly, we will discuss with the landowner the entire process from end to end, fill out an individual questionnaire and agreement/plan. This is coupled with an outline map of the agreed application area and we then proceed to the second stage of the process.

STAGE 3

As part of the agreement and based on our calculations of anywhere between 10 & 20 tonnes per hectare, we will supply the material of their choice to the Landowner free of charge and arrange/pay for a local contractor to spread it.

​

We would recommend that the farmer/Landowner conduct their own due diligence regarding crop productivity/volumes achieved on the parcels of land that we treat.

​

Having a baseline crop value from the previous year would be an advantage prior to our process starting.

STAGE 2

Based on the areas that we agree and outline with the Landowner, we will then complete numerous core (up to 1m deep) on the land parcels to determine information required for the trial which will give us:

​

  • The baseline information such as the pH and the Carbons currently stored within the soils

  • Overall soil structures

  • Acidic or alkaline conditions on the area being tested

STAGE 4

After a pre-determined and agreed period (circa. 9-12 months) we will return and re-sample in the exact same locations and analyse our findings in our Laboratory.

​

We will then be able to determine any improvements and fluctuations in the soils within the trial area.

​

We purely focus on the carbon capture of the basalt rock/pulverised concrete alone and we make no claim to any other carbon linked to your land such as farmyard manure, compost, reforestation or in-situ or regenerated wetlands.

​

As stated in Stage 3, having the farmers baseline information and then crop values at the Stage 4 will indicate the benefits ascertained without potentially using fertilisers.
