Speeding up nature - enhanced weathering

Our new ELI today is another in our 'net zero' emissions series: 'Speeding up nature to trap carbon dioxide; the potential role of enhanced weathering and carbonation in mitigating climate change'.

This activity explains two case studies in the sequestration of carbon by promoting enhanced weathering processes. It asks pupils to suggest the stages in quarrying and processing the basalt where carbon emissions might be involved. How does the “carbon footprint” of the proposals for Sao Paulo State compare with that in the Newcastle study?

You can find many other activities related to how we can reach our 'net zero' emissions target.
