At the Carbon Drawdown Symposium, we move from theory to execution. • 134 Members
On 16 June, we will open our enhanced rock weathering measurement dataset live, in public, for the first time. Twelve presentations. Nine research questions. Data spanning multiple field sites, soil types, and years of sampling — including findings that will be shared publicly for the first time.

Over the past few years, we’ve been building a large dataset on enhanced rock weathering – spanning different field sites, soil types, and measurement approaches, and collecting data across multiple growing seasons.
One of the harder questions in enhanced rock weathering is not only how much inorganic carbon is removed, but what happens to the organic carbon within our soils over time.
Here’s a problem I keep coming back to: a lot of the cations we think we’ve released by weathering may not be where we think they are.
The dataset we're presenting at the Carbon Drawdown Symposium on 16 June spans multiple field sites, feedstock types, soils, and measurement approaches, collected across the last years.
Here's a glimpse of what's actually in it.
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.
At Carbon Drawdown Initiative we've spent years asking one question: is the carbon we think we're removing from the atmosphere actually removed?
On 16 June, scientists working directly with samples and datasets from our greenhouse experiment will present their findings in a full day of talks, live-streamed online and freely accessible. On 17 June, the focus shifts to hands-on workshops, building directly on the results and discussions from the first day. We invite you to join us in this important journey.
