Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is a carbon dioxide removal method with the potential to remove gigatonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by spreading specific crushed minerals on cropland. However, deployment costs vary widely based on material availability and transport logistics.
In this webinar, Sasha Wilson and Jonathan Spence from the University of Alberta presented their research mapping ERW supply chains across North America and identifying optimal deployment locations for cost-effective climate impact.
This session is part of the CanCO2Re webinar series, which brings together experts from across disciplines to advance Canada's understanding of carbon dioxide removal. The series is a program of the CanCO2Re initiative, a national research effort that connects researchers across 11 fields of study, from engineering and climate science to law, economics, and communications, through institutions including the University of Calgary, University of Alberta, University of Toronto, Simon Fraser University, and the Pembina Institute.
