Boosting crops and capturing carbon with enhanced rock weathering in Canada

Ecologi is currently supporting UNDO’s Canadian projects, which focuses on engaging with farming communities to remove megatonnes of carbon alongside socio-economic benefits. The project partners with Canadian Wollastonite, who specialise in the mining and crushing of the fast-weathering mineral, wollastonite.   Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) accelerates the natural weathering of silicate minerals by applying crushed silicate rocks such as basalt, olivine, and wollastonite to the soil. Wollastonite is a highly effective mineral for ERW as a carbon capture method. It absorbs CO₂ much faster than other silicate rocks, requires less material per ton of CO₂ stored, and can be reapplied to land annually.  Wollastonite has a wealth of co-benefits for farmers and their land. When the rock weathers, it releases calcium, magnesium, and silicon, as well as other major and minor nutrients into the soil. This results in higher crop yields, increased pest resistance, and improvement in the pH of soils. The crushed rock can be spread on any type of cropland, and reduces the need for CO2-emitting lime inputs in fields.

This community-led project transforms invasive Prosopis juliflora and cotton stalks into biochar

Without this project, Prosopis would remain a net emitter, either through natural decay, which releases CO₂ and methane, or through its traditional use as fuelwood, where it is burned, emitting all its stored carbon immediately.

The Humbo Assisted Natural Regeneration Project focuses on restoring indigenous tree species

The Project activities involve funding seven community cooperatives, which are in charge of project implementation and management. 195 jobs have been created as a result of the operation and management of the forestry Cooperatives, Union, and cooperative-run businesses. Training is also offered and undertaken by community groups, with 208 participants at the Carbon stock estimation/Monitoring session, 178 attending the training on Forest Management, and 276 attending a forest protection steering committee stakeholders review meeting.
