Mati Carbon Wins XPRIZE for Innovative Carbon Removal Technology How Does Enhanced Rock Weathering Remove Carbon? If you're searching for innovative ways to combat climate change, look no further than enhanced rock weathering , the groundbreaking technology behind Mati Carbon's recent win at the prestigious XPRIZE Carbon Removal competition . This simple yet powerful solution tackles excess atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) by locking it into soil for thousands of years. By grinding volcanic rocks like basalt into fine dust and spreading them over farmland, Mati Carbon accelerates natural processes that mineralize CO2 while enriching soils with vital nutrients. It’s a win-win approach: reducing greenhouse gases and boosting agricultural productivity simultaneously. Image : Google But what makes this method stand out among other carbon capture technologies? Unlike complex systems such as direct air capture or ocean alkalinity enhancement, Mati’s process is cost-effective, scalable, and accessible—especially for millions of smallholder f…
