What Is Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW)?

Enhanced Rock Weathering is a natural way to remove carbon from the air. Finely crushed rocks like basalt are spread on soil, where they react with carbon dioxide and lock it into stable minerals. This process stores carbon safely for very long periods, making it suitable for long-term climate action.

How It Supports Farming

Along with carbon removal, ERW improves soil quality. The minerals help balance soil pH and add nutrients that support crop growth. This can improve yields and reduce the need for chemical inputs over time. For farmers, this means better soil health with climate benefits at the same time.

Why ERW Works Well in India

India has large agricultural areas where soil improvement is already needed. ERW can be applied using existing farming practices, making it easier to adopt without major changes in operations. This makes ERW practical, scalable, and suitable for large climate programs linked to agriculture.
