The natural chemical breakdown of rocks removes CO2 from the atmosphere

Carbonic acid breaks down minerals in rocks into more stable minerals that incorporate CO2

CO2 from the atmosphere dissolves in rainwater, forming carbonic acid

A process designed to accelerate natural weathering

Powdered rock is spread on fields, where its large surface area increases the breakdown of minerals by carbonic acid

The new stable minerals retain CO2 and nutrients released by the chemical reactions can increase crop yields
