Lithos Carbon, a Seattle-based carbon removal company, is utilizing enhanced rock weathering by repurposing mining waste like basalt and limestone dust to capture carbon dioxide and improve agricultural efficiency. This innovative process accelerates the natural carbon absorption that typically takes thousands of years, allowing farmers to apply the dust over their fields to enhance soil health and crop yields while removing up to 1 billion tons of CO2 annually. By integrating sustainable practices, Lithos aims to combat climate change and promote cleaner air through organic farming solutions.
