Project Carbdown: A Review of Year 1
Project Carbdown, our science project aimed at measuring the CO₂ sequestration by enhanced weathering with rock dust on croplands, has been going on for a year now. It is time to look at the results of the first year, draw some conclusions and adapt the ongoing experiments accordingly.
After a short introduction this article summarizes our learnings and conclusions. These will lead to some changes to our ongoing experiments and have also triggered the development of a new, additional experiment, the “Carbdown XXL-Lysimeter Experiment” that we will announce in a few days.

Introducing “Project Carbdown”: Our first “enhanced weathering” field trial aims to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere
The weathering of rock permanently binds CO₂ from the air and thus removes it from the atmosphere. Can this be used to mitigate climate change? For a few months now, we have been preparing a scientific project together with several scientists and our partner Fieldcode in which we want to accelerate and measure the weathering of rocks, in order to possibly expand the toolbox for climate protection.
Today we are proud to announce: Project Carbdown.

Wir stellen vor: „Project Carbdown“ -- Unser erster Feldversuch mit “beschleunigter Verwitterung” zum Einfangen von CO₂ aus der Umgebungsluft
Durch die Verwitterung von Gestein wird CO₂ aus der Luft permanent gebunden und so der Atmosphäre entzogen. Können wir damit etwas gegen den Klimawandel tun? Seit einigen Monaten bereiten wir zusammen mit einigen Wissenschaftlern und unserem Partner Fieldcode ein wissenschaftliches Projekt vor, bei dem wir Gesteinsverwitterung beschleunigen und vermessen wollen, um möglicherweise damit den Werkzeugkasten des Klimaschutzes zu erweitern.
Heute stellen wir also vor: Project Carbdown.

Let's do something with enhanced weathering
In our endeavor to enable negative emissions one of our next goals is to set up olivine based pilot projects for enhanced weathering together with our partner company Fieldcode.
This blog article explains WHY we do this and WHAT questions we need to find answers for.
