Last week marked a big moment in the short history of durable open-system carbon removal. The announcement of Frontier’s $57M offtake agreement to buy ~150,000 removed tons from Lithos, an enhanced rock weathering (ERW) supplier, is the world’s first truly large-scale, multi-year purchase of durable carbon removal via an open-system …

In November, 93 leaders in enhanced rock weathering (ERW)–including scientists, suppliers, buyers, credit issuers, civil society and more–publicly signed on to a set of Core Principles on the quantification of net carbon removal via ERW. The Core Principles represent an ERW community-wide view on rigorous quantification and set a shared …
