As part of the “European Green Deal” and in implementing the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, enormous efforts are necessary to reduce emissions of climate-damaging gases. In this context, the focus is on technologies for the capture and storage of atmospheric CO2 , the “negative emission technologies”. One of these technologies is “Enhanced Weathering”.
The strategy is to remove 2atmosphere in the long term by applying finely ground rock to agricultural land The aim of this research project is to quantify potential of volcanic rock dust (basalt ) on agricultural grassland areas
The research project is part of the DAFNE project BaLance CO2 (project no. 101723, project leader Dr. Thomas Rinner).
