ERW represents Earth’s solution to carbon removal, is permanent for millennia, and globally scalable. Invest in carbon credits with solid scientific foundation and measurable climate impact.
Mineral-based storage with permanence greater than 10,000 years
Does not impact existing farming practices, so no land use change
Combats soil acidification and provides important mineral nutrients
Our approach combines cutting-edge science with real-world benefits, creating a triple impact: permanent carbon removal, economic empowerment for farming communities, and agricultural enhancement.
Our innovative MRV technology reduces costs
Strengthens rural communities by supporting local businesses
High degree of transparency in our credit documentation
Enhanced soil fertility from rock fines application can improve agricultural yields. One study showed that the deployment of ERW resulted in yield increases for maize and soy of 12–16%.
ZeroEx’s work developing innovative carbon capture measurement devices to bring down credit prices actively advances the development of the CDR industry.
ZeroEx’s project in Germany utilizes quarry byproducts which would otherwise go to waste.
ERW removes CO2 from the atmosphere and has been shown to reduce soil emissions of nitrous oxide, another potent greenhouse gas. Basalt also deacidifies soils, reducing the need to apply carbon-intensive agricultural lime.
By providing important mineral nutrients, ERW enhances soil health and increases biological productivity. ERW on cultivated land comes with a long list of proven co-benefits to farmers, food security, and the environment.
Soil samples show whether basalt is weathering, but not whether that reaction is truly sequestering carbon.
Invest in a high-integrity project that drives decarbonization, strengthens communities, and restores natural ecosystems.
