Adding crushed volcanic rock to cropland could play a key role in removing carbon from the air. In a field study, scientists found the technology stored carbon in the soil even during an extreme drought in California.
<p>Adding crushed volcanic rock to farmland can pull carbon dioxide out of the air. In a field test, UC Davis scientists found that the process works even in dry climates. </p>
Technology and management can not only reduce emissions, but eliminate it altogether.
As the world seeks to avoid climate extremes, employing state-of-the art agricultural technology could result in more than 13 billion tons of net negative greenhouse gas emissions annually.
As the Earth’s human population grows, greenhouse gas emissions from the world’s food system are on track to expand. A new study demonstrates that state-of-the-art agricultural technology and management can not only reduce that growth, but eliminate it altogether by generating net negative emissions – reducing more greenhouse gas than food systems add.
