Mati Carbon

Carbon Removals with co-benefits to smallholder farmers.

What Mati Carbon does

Mati Earth has been actively involved in carbon removal efforts through enhanced rock weathering (ERW), focusing significantly on agricultural fields in Central India. They use silicate rock powders that interact with CO2 and water, enhancing the natural process of rock weathering. This method not only captures carbon but also releases essential nutrients into the soil, which benefits crop growth and enriches the soil health.

In 2022, Mati deployed over 1000 tons of their material and is aiming to significantly scale up their operations to 20,000 tons in 2023. Their field trials in Chhattisgarh have shown very promising results in terms of carbon removal effectiveness and enhancements in crop productivity without any negative agricultural side effects. They utilize a robust Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) system to ensure the quality and reliability of their carbon removal claims.

Mati's operations are supported by a scientific approach that includes extensive soil and water sampling to accurately measure the carbon removed. Their projects contribute to global food security and uplift smallholder farmers by reducing their costs and providing access to essential farm nutrients.

Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) Approach

Mati Earth uses silicate rock powders that chemically interact with CO2 and water to enhance the natural rock weathering process. This method is effective in sequestering carbon and also delivers micronutrients to the soil, which can improve agricultural output and soil health.

Scalable Impact

The company aims for large-scale carbon removal. They have set a goal to remove 100 million tonnes of CO2 by 2040. Their approach is supported by the use of vast farmlands and proximity to significant deposits of weathering igneous rocks, enabling them to scale up operations efficiently.

Agricultural and Environmental Benefits

Beyond carbon removal, Mati’s method enriches the soil with essential nutrients like magnesium, calcium, and other trace elements, which enhances crop growth and reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers. This contributes positively to global food security and supports the sustainability of smallholder farms.

Community and Economic Impact

By providing essential farm nutrients at reduced costs, Mati Earth supports smallholder farmers, reducing their operational costs and improving profitability. Their operations create economic and environmental benefits that enhance the climate resilience of these communities.

Scientific and Operational Excellence

Mati Earth’s projects are not only backed by robust scientific research but are also operational in challenging environments like the tropical regions of India, which are ideal due to their warm temperatures and plentiful water. This geographical advantage is crucial for achieving high rates of weathering and effective carbon dioxide removal.

Why Mati Carbon?

Supporting Mati Earth in their carbon removal efforts offers a multifaceted approach to addressing climate change that goes beyond mere carbon sequestration. Their use of enhanced rock weathering (ERW) not only captures carbon efficiently but also enhances soil fertility. This dual benefit is pivotal as it directly contributes to improving agricultural productivity, particularly benefiting smallholder farmers in developing regions like Central India. The addition of essential nutrients to the soil through the weathering process helps reduce the reliance on synthetic fertilizers, promoting more sustainable farming practices.

Mati Earth’s projects are also strategically placed to leverage natural climatic advantages in tropical regions, which are ideal for accelerating the weathering process. Their scientifically-backed methods are supported by rigorous measurement, reporting, and verification tools that ensure the effectiveness and reliability of their carbon removal claims. This transparency is crucial for building trust and support from both local communities and international stakeholders.

Moreover, by aiming to remove 100 million tonnes of CO2 by 2040, Mati Earth’s ambitious goals align with global carbon reduction targets necessary to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change. Supporting Mati Earth not only contributes to these global efforts but also supports economic development in rural areas, enhancing food security and improving the livelihoods of communities vulnerable to climate impacts. This holistic approach to carbon management and community development makes Mati Earth a worthy candidate for support from individuals and organizations committed to environmental sustainability and social responsibility.
