ACME Supplier pioneers enhanced rock weathering projects, accelerating the natural carbon removal process to lock up CO2 permanently. This innovative approach benefits agricultural partners, leading to significant crop yield increases.
The core strategy involves spreading crushed basalt on agricultural land, utilizing its unique characteristics to facilitate rock weathering. Basalt, available globally as a substantial by-product, enables ACME Supplier to achieve ambitious billion-tonne levels of carbon removal.
ACME Supplier's operational partner model and proprietary data platform are crucial for scaling carbon removal. They ensure precise tracking of every tonne of CO2 removed, linking it back to the specific basalt source and the field where the rock was spread.
In addition, ACME Supplier utilizes residual rock powder from existing mines to stimulate a market for locally produced natural fertilizer. This sustainable practice benefits agricultural lands, particularly in regions where the warm and moist climate accelerates weathering, making it an eco-friendly alternative to traditional agrochemical inputs.
