What Eion Carbon does

Eion Carbon is pioneering the field of carbon removal through enhanced rock weathering (ERW), a natural process that they've adapted to work effectively and efficiently on agricultural lands. This innovative approach uses olivine, a commonly found silicate rock, to capture atmospheric carbon dioxide and store it safely, all while improving soil health. Eion's work capitalizes on the Earth’s own processes, accelerating the mineralization that would naturally take thousands of years into a much shorter timeframe.

The company’s technique not only sequesters carbon but also enhances the agricultural environment. By replacing agricultural lime, which is traditionally used to manage soil pH, with olivine, Eion Carbon provides a double benefit of reducing soil acidity and boosting carbon capture. This method is integrated seamlessly into existing farming practices, making it an attractive option for farmers who can continue their routine operations without disruptive changes.

Eion Carbon’s efforts are rooted in scientific rigor and a commitment to sustainability. Their unique measurement methodology, which has been patented, allows for direct, verifiable tracking of the carbon removed by their processes. This ensures transparency and reliability in their results, boosting confidence among stakeholders and potential investors.

The company's approach is deeply collaborative, involving a network of farmers, scientists, and industry experts who all contribute to the carbon removal efforts. This community-oriented model not only enhances the scalability of Eion’s technology but also ensures that it benefits local economies by creating jobs and supporting rural development.

Eion Carbon's vision extends beyond just carbon removal; they aim to catalyze significant improvements in agricultural practices globally. With access to tens of millions of acres of cropland and a substantial supply of olivine, they are positioned to make a large-scale impact on the environment. Their operations are designed to be scalable, aiming to remove an ambitious 10 million tons of CO2 annually by 2030, which would mark a substantial stride towards global carbon reduction goals.

The company has also been recognized by industry leaders and has secured strong partnerships that bolster its credibility and operational capacity. These collaborations with both academic institutions and industry giants underline the effectiveness and potential of Eion’s technology to become a mainstream solution in the fight against climate change.

Moreover, Eion’s commitment to improving the ecosystem extends to monitoring and conservation efforts, ensuring that their activities contribute positively to the local environment and biodiversity. This holistic approach is part of why Eion Carbon is seen as a leader in responsible and sustainable carbon removal.
