Turning rocks into a powerful weapon against climate change
Why?
- Climate is changing faster than us. To reach net-zero, we all need to reduce drastically our emissions. This is the first priority, but it won’t be enough.
- On top of reducing our emissions, we need to remove from the atmosphere least 5 to 10 gigatons of CO2 per year by 2050 (IPCC). We have to start developing solutions now to achieve our climate goals.
- At ClimeRock, our mission is to remove carbon dioxyde from the atmosphere while restoring soils.
Our Solution
- Enhanced Rock Weathering (or ERW) is a natural and cost-effective carbon dioxide removal technique that uses finely ground rocks to capture and store atmospheric CO2 for centuries.
- By applying silicate rocks on crops, it also improves soil health and crop yield.
- The carbon dioxide captured via ERW ends up permanently stored as dissolved bicarbonate in the oceans, counteracting ocean acidification.

Our Approach
- Provide farmers with adequate silicate rocks already available nearby that could address their soil correction needs.
- Make good use of fine silicate rocks, an abundant mining by-product, putting it at the service of soil health and fighting climate change.
- ClimeRock sells CO2 credits to companies looking to neutralise their residual emissions. We ambition to deploy ERW hubs in France and other high potential countries, while continuously improving our processes and investing in research and development.
