Removal of atmospheric CO2 by rock weathering holds promise for mitigating climate change

Large-scale removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere might be achieved through enhanced rock weathering. It now seems that this approach is as promising as other strategies, in terms of cost and CO 2 -removal potential. Modelling of the CO2-removal potential of rock weathering on croplands.
