Enhanced rock weathering has real potential as a carbon removal pathway. The chemistry is well understood, and the theoretical scale is significant. It’s no surprise that interest from buyers, policymakers, and researchers continues to grow.
What’s evolving more slowly is how and what we measure in practice.
Tracking alkalinity transport, understanding cation pathways, and distinguishing the ERW signal from background processes in heterogeneous soils are all active areas of research. Different approaches are being tested, and the field is still building the datasets needed to move from promising results to consistent, verifiable outcomes.
The Carbon Drawdown Symposium 2026 is designed to bring that work into the open.
It’s an opportunity to engage directly with the data, the methods behind it, and the questions that will shape how this field develops from here.
Free, virtual, 16 June 2026.
