  • Soil cation storage is a key control on the carbon removal dynamics of enhanced weathering

    Open AccessYoshiki Kanzaki, Noah J Planavsky et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Significant interest and resources are currently being channeled into techniques for durable carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from Earth’s atmosphere. A particular class of these approaches—referred to as enhanced weathering (EW)—seeks to modify the surface alkalinity budget to store CO 2 as dissolved inorganic carbon species. Here, we use a reaction-transport model designed to simulate EW in managed lands to evaluate the throughput and storage times…

  • Evaluating the carbon capture potential of industrial waste as a feedstock for enhanced weathering

    Open AccessPengxiao Xu, Christopher T ReinhardARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Limiting anthropogenic global climate warming since the start of the industrial period to less than 2 °C will very likely require both deep and rapid reductions in anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and a range of approaches toward carbon dioxide removal (CDR). One prominent CDR approach is enhanced weathering (EW), in which crushed silicate rock is applied on land or in the open ocean to accelerate natural weathering processes that absorb ca…

  • A framework for modeling carbon loss from rivers following terrestrial enhanced weathering

    Open AccessShuang Zhang, Christopher T Reinhard et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Enhanced weathering (EW) has garnered increasing interest as a promising technique for durable carbon dioxide removal, with a range of potential co-benefits including increased soil pH and nutrient availability. However, the potential loss of initially captured CO 2 during river transport remains poorly constrained, undermining the use of this practice as a carbon mitigation strategy. Here, we present results from a first-of-its-kind dynamic rive…

  • Aligning incentives for carbon dioxide removal

    Open AccessChristopher T Reinhard, Noah J Planavsky et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) at the scale needed to meet key climate goals will require the development of a massive industry. The development of regulatory architecture and effective incentive structures must proceed in parallel if this industry is to function in a way that is technically rigorous, environmentally conscious, and socially responsible. Most of the current capital flow, overall technological development in CDR, and third-party moni…

  • A biogeochemical model of mineral-based ocean alkalinity enhancement

    Open AccessMojtaba Fakhraee, Zijian Li et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Minimizing anthropogenic climate disruption in the coming century will likely require carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from Earth’s atmosphere in addition to deep and rapid cuts to greenhouse gas emissions. Ocean alkalinity enhancement—the modification of surface ocean chemistry to drive marine uptake of atmospheric CO 2 —is seen as a potentially significant component of ocean-based CDR portfolios. However, there has been limited mechanistic explorat…

  • Ocean alkalinity enhancement through restoration of blue carbon ecosystems

    Open AccessMojtaba Fakhraee, Noah J Planavsky et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2023Cited by: 3References: 1

    Blue carbon ecosystems provide a wide range of ecosystem services, are critical for maintaining marine biodiversity and may potentially serve as sites of economically viable carbon dioxide removal through enhanced organic carbon storage. Here we use biogeochemical simulations to show that restoration of these marine ecosystems can also lead to permanent carbon dioxide removal by driving ocean alkalinity enhancement and atmosphere-to-ocean CO 2 fl…
