Carbon sequestration isn’t new. Places in the Midwest and Gulf Coast already store carbon underground like this in sandstone rocks. But, basalt is different. When you put CO2 in the spaces ...

Rocks like limestone and basalt naturally absorb carbon dioxide from the air. It's a process called rock weathering and it's similar to other forms of natural carbon capture, such as trees in ...

Mary Yap has spent the last year and a half trying to get farmers to fall in love with basalt. The volcanic rock is chock full of nutrients, captured as its crystal structure forms from cooling ...

Lithos provides a permanent carbon removal strategy by spreading the dust of crushed basalt rock on croplands. When the rain falls, the basalt reacts with the water and carbon dioxide in the air ...

Basalt, a commonly found rock in Australia, forms from rapidly cooled lava and is rich in minerals such as magnesium and calcium. Many Australians know it as "blue metal", the gravel often used in ...
