The quest to turn #basalt dust into a viable #climate solution
The #volcanic rock is chock full of nutrients, captured as its crystal structure forms from cooling #magma, and makes soil less acidic similar to #limestone, which f#armers often use to improve their #soil.But basalt also comes with an important side benefit: It can naturally captures #carbon from the #atmosphere. Sprinkling rock dust on #farmland to soak up atmospheric carbon will be tested at large scale. https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/12/the-quest-to-turn-basalt-dust-into-a-viable-climate-solution/
