Wollastonite is the lime of the future. In the near future, lime applications will become unprofitable due to the carbon dioxide released from calcium carbonate. Wollastonite is a calcium silicate which quickly releases calcium, magnesium, and silicon in the soil and contains no carbon dioxide. Pound for pound, wollastonite has 44% more minerals, mainly silicon, […]
A recent experiment showed one application of olivine can release enough nickel to contaminate soil for hundreds of years. This limits olivine’s use to very low application rates that will still release nickel but limit the amount of CO2 Olivine can capture. Despite the potential of olivine for carbon sequestration in soil and oceans, […]
Canadian Wollastonite’s retail wollastonite product, CW Grow now has a video to help everyone understand capturing carbon with accelerated weathering and the plant growth benefits wollastonite can provide. It’s only 90 seconds, see what you think:
The Ontario Farmer is read weekly by just about every farmer in Ontario and covers a wide range of topics. We showed up on the front page recently with a well-written article about the potential for calcium silicates and accelerated weathering. This is an excellent summary and a great overview of exactly what happens when […]
The planet’s air conditioner is the process of weathering of rocks like wollastonite that have removed carbon dioxide and cooled the planet for billions of years. There is no big machine, it is a simple reaction and luckily when you spread crushed wollastonite you can speed it up.
