		+	By some estimates, enhanced rock weathering (ERW) could remove up to 2 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide per year, equivalent to a fifth of the amount that climate scientists say the world needs to remove annually by 2050.
		+
		+	The process of ERW involves spreading crushed up rocks like basalt onto farmer’s fields. When rainwater hits these volcanic rocks, it triggers a chemical reaction that converts the carbonic acid in the rain into dissolved bicarbonate, releasing beneficial nutrients into the soil. The bicarbonate is eventually carried by rivers and streams to the ocean, where it can become the shells of sea creatures like phytoplankton and oysters. When the organisms die, the carbon remains permanently sequestered on the ocean floor. This process normally takes hundreds of thousands of years, but ERW companies say they can speed it up to a few years’ time.

 Conclusions from the study included:
 ''"The upside is that bare ground declined while cover, forage, beef production and habitat improved. Tom Sidwell explained that the resultant higher forage production, higher average stocking rate and more calves to sell – plus planning for drought and innovative marketing – means ranch revenue is better and more dependable than ever. Equally important, the increased cover and soil carbon initiated a positive cascade – capturing more water, reducing runoff, increasing forage production and lengthening the ‘green’ period – good for livestock, wildlife and the bottom line."''
