16–17 June 2026 • Hybrid event • Hotel Luise, Erlangen
A Two-Day Scientific Event Built on Greenhouse Data
The Carbon Drawdown Symposium 2026 is a two-day scientific event dedicated entirely to the data and learnings from our greenhouse experiment—the world’s largest enhanced weathering (EW) greenhouse.
On 16 June, scientists working directly with our samples and datasets 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.
17 June
Hands-on workshops
Findings from Samples & Datasets
On 16 June, scientists working directly with our samples and datasets will present their findings in a full day of talks, live-streamed online and freely accessible.
From Theory to Execution
Now it is time to put together the puzzle pieces into a (hopefully) rather complete picture—collecting and presenting results across the full greenhouse experiment.
Workshops to Move Forward
On 17 June, hands-on workshops build directly on the results and discussions from Day 1 to bring the enhanced rock weathering field a huge step further.
Why We Started the Symposium
The CO₂ removal effects of enhanced weathering in soils are not yet fully understood and in-situ measurements continue to pose significant challenges. Since 2019, we have contributed to this global scientific endeavour through multiple field and greenhouse experiments with extensive data collection. Our aim is to identify which soil and rock combinations are most effective—or, in some cases, ineffective—at CO₂ removal.
