The project team will be attending, presenting and networking at a range of events. Stay up to date below.
Durable carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies are increasingly recognized as essential for meeting long-term climate targets, yet their deployment remains limited by economic, technical, and policy uncertainties. Drawing on a detailed case study, Yiwen Zhang has applied the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Techno-Economic Analysis (TEA) to evaluate the full enhanced rock weathering (ERW) supply chain, from feedstock processing and transport to field application and post-deployment monitoring.
Hosted by James Cook University, the symposium will showcase Australian research from researchers, early career scholars, practitioners, and key collaborators exploring both emerging science and practical applications of enhanced rock weathering (ERW).
Explore an ERW field trial site on an avocado farm near Mareeba. Meet the farmer, deployment company and scientists, and learn about the concept and practicalities of enhanced rock weathering.
Dr. Binoy Sarkar, the scientific lead from the University of Adelaide, will attend this global conference, which brings together international experts investigating biochar for carbon sequestration and emissions reduction.
Members of our ERW team will be joining Soil Science Australia at their national conference to explore soil health and understanding of soil as the foundation for productivity, security, community, and resilience.
This conference brought together soil scientists to collaborate on addressing the diverse challenges facing both developed and developing regions. Our lead scientist, Dr Binoy Sarkar, delivered a presentation, while Research Associates Birhanu Iticha Ayanssa and Lakshmi Chamaparambil Suresh were included in the poster session.
Professor Paul Nelson participated in the annual meeting of the Leverhulme Centre for Climate Change Mitigation in Sheffield, UK. The Leverhulme Centre brought together researchers from a wide range of backgrounds to explore the potential of using enhanced rock weathering on croplands to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
The ERW Project Science Lead, Professor Paul Nelson, joined the Community of Practice meeting. This session was hosted by the TNQ Drought Hub for Drought Resilience Officers across tropical North Queensland NRM groups.
Chemical Interactions in Variable Charge Soils: Implications for Soil Productivity, Pollutant Impacts, and Management Strategies. Prof Paul Nelson's keynote speech on "Nutrient interactions in variable-charge soils and the implications for plant productivity and atmospheric CO2".
In the session ‘GC095 - Scaling Enhanced Rock Weathering for CO₂ Removal in the (Sub-)Tropics: Innovations in MRV, Agronomy, and Community-Driven Deployment’, Fred Holden presented results from ERW research in sugarcane in Australia.
The conference featured leading Australian and international scientific voices who are actively engaged in advancing research and addressing the challenges in the diverse fields of agriculture and food across tropical and sub-tropical environments.
A two-day industry gathering that brought together businesses and growers to connect, share insights, and explore the latest in innovations in the avocado horticultural. The Enhanced Rock Weathering team shared information about their project and their upcoming field visit to the avocado trial site in June 2026.
Catalyzing Change for Sustainability and ESG: Bridging Academia and Industry. Dr Binoy Sarkar, with Prof Honghong Lyu, spoke on Mineral Weathering and Metal(loid) Biogeochemistry: from Agricultural Land to Mining Pollution Management.
Marking 25 years since the regional natural resource management model was established in Australia, this was an opportunity to share and celebrate everything learned. The ERW project displayed a poster.
ERW25 focused on the potential and the barriers for implementation of ERW as a tool for addressing climate challenge.
