Brantley’s new estimate of global weathering sensitivity shows a 3.2 percent increase in the removal of CO 2 by silicate weathering per degree C, a vast improvement on the 2–20 percent range ...

Irish startup Silicate is poised to launch its first U.S. trial of advanced carbon removal techniques. The Sligo-headquartered firm asserts it possesses state-of-the-art technology capable of ...

The silicate minerals found in certain rocks react with carbon dioxide and convert it into solid carbonates. But the process, known as weathering, takes tens of thousands of years.

The chemical weathering of continental silicate rocks by bicarbonate and rainwater leads to dissolution of silicate rocks and their constituents into rivers and streams. As these silicate rocks ...

Rock weathering and climate: Low-relief mountain ranges are largest carbon sinks A team led by LMU geologist Aaron Bufe has investigated how erosion and weathering affect the CO2 budget over ...

Based in NovaUCD, Silicate has developed technology to remove excess CO2 from the atmosphere through the weathering of silicate and hydroxide minerals. Irish carbon removal start-up Silicate has ...
