ERW expands to Central Queensland grain country
December 16, 2025
New trial site established in Central Queensland. The Enhanced Rock Weathering Project has reached a major milestone with the establishment
The aim of this project is to determine the effects of applying crushed basalt on CO2 capture, crop production and soil health through a process known as enhanced rock weathering. This is being done through field trials on a variety of farms and cropping systems across Australia.
Join leading experts on Thursday 25 June for a deep dive into the latest research and innovations.
Then, on Friday 26 June, take part in a guided field visit to the Avocado Trial Site in Mareeba. Find out more >>
The first field trials of our basalt application project have commenced on banana, avocado, cotton and rice. These trials aim to explore the potential of basalt in improving soil health and supporting carbon sequestration.
Hosted by JCU we present the Enhanced Rock Weathering Research in Australia Symposium and Field Visit June 2026
Stay up to date with the latest events, workshops, forums, and field days that we will be attending to keep you informed about enhanced rock weathering.
