We’re diving into trees this week. On the silicon side, trees are a top-tier recycler. With leaf removal in city parks and many residential properties, we’re seeing a huge loss of nutrients to the system, especially silicon. High-five to the municipalities and citizens who have switched to mulching leaves in place. The trees and the […]
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.
Fresh off the press, this study makes the case that microbes play an important role in accelerated weathering reactions, the same reactions that are spurred on when wollastonite is spread on the soil. Accelerated weathering is the breakdown of the silicate minerals in the soil creating carbonates, calcium carbonate in the case of wollastonite. Calcium […]
