Chemistry expertise speeds up rocks' ability to absorb CO2

Olivine rock naturally reacts with carbon dioxide, but it’s a slow business Renhour48 via Wikimedia/CC0 1.0 Universal The new process will allow crushed rocks to capture carbon dioxide more quickly from the air by turbocharged with already widely adopted carbon removal techniques.

Clever chemistry can make rocks absorb CO2 much more quickly

Spreading crushed rocks on fields can absorb CO2 from the air – now chemists have devised a way to turbocharge this process by creating more reactive minerals
