Enhanced Rock Weathering technology applying basalt rock dust to farmland for permanent carbon removal and soil fertility improvement.
Powered by EELAB
EELAB applies finely ground basalt rock dust to farmland where it reacts with atmospheric CO₂ and soil moisture to permanently convert CO₂ into stable carbonate minerals, integrating geospatial data, soil analytics, and farmer networks.
Technology Readiness Level — TRL 6
Agriculture faces declining soil fertility, increasing atmospheric CO₂ levels, reduced crop productivity, and dependence on chemical fertilizers. There is a need for scalable carbon removal technologies that simultaneously improve soil health and support sustainable farming.
Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) technology applies finely ground basalt rock dust to farmland, where it naturally reacts with atmospheric CO₂ and soil moisture to permanently convert CO₂ into stable carbonate minerals. The platform integrates geospatial data, soil analytics, and farmer networks to implement ERW at scale across Indian farms.
Permanent atmospheric CO₂ removal through rock weathering.
Geospatial site selection and monitoring for ERW deployment.
Soil remineralization and fertility improvement.
Improved water retention through soil remineralization.
Digital Monitoring, Reporting & Verification for carbon credits.
Farmer network engagement for scalable deployment.
Improves soil fertility and crop yields while permanently removing atmospheric CO₂. Generates high-integrity carbon credits, supports regenerative agriculture, increases farmer income, and provides a scalable model for India's rural carbon economy.
Scale to 10,000 hectares across Washim and Madhya Pradesh by 2027, expanding to 100,000 hectares by 2030 through carbon credit and soil improvement partnerships.
