Crushed rocks on UK farmland could absorb up to 45% of the atmospheric CO2 needed for net zero targets

Adding rock dust to UK agricultural soils could absorb up to 45 per cent of the atmospheric carbon dioxide needed to reach net zero, according to a major new study led by scientists at the 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ of Sheffield.

Low-carbon energy grids could help rock dust absorb more CO2

Greener electricity grids could help us to use rock dust to remove more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reach net zero much quicker, according to a new study from researchers at the 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ of Sheffield.
