Based on our research into enhanced weathering companies, this article analyzes industrial technologies of enhanced weathering. Enhanced weathering accelerates natural geological processes to capture atmospheric COâ‚‚. The industrial enhanced weathering processes include:
- processing minerals like peridotite rocks into reactive materials that rapidly react with atmospheric COâ‚‚.
- integrating with Direct Air Capture to sequester captured COâ‚‚ in the peridotite formation layer underground.

Convert minerals into reactive COâ‚‚ sorbent
Arca Climate Technologies (Arca) has developed an enhanced weathering system that uses peridotite rocks for CO₂ removal. high-intensity energy bursts to convert peridotite rocks into caustic magnesia (MgO) sorbent material for efficiently capturing and sequestering CO₂ from the air. The diagram below depicts Arca’s enhanced weathering process.
