Description
Advancing terrestrial enhanced weathering as a climate mitigation strategy will require addressing open questions on technical readiness, environmental concerns and deployment strategies. While related lab and pilot scale research are progressing, there is still a large gap between the current state of terrestrial enhanced weathering activity, and that required for megaton or gigaton scale carbon removal. Here we present a technical roadmap focused on the research, development and deployment necessary to support the development of a robust terrestrial enhanced weathering industry, through an assessment of risks against long term goals, as well as critical pathways to technical viability and commercial scale deployment.
