UNDO Enhanced Rock Weathering – UK
A nature-based carbon removal technology that permanently locks away CO₂
UNDO spreads crushed basalt rock on agricultural land, enhancing soil health while removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through a process called enhanced rock weathering. Enhanced rock weathering is a nature-based carbon removal technology that permanently locks away CO₂ from the atmosphere.

Jez Wardman, our Agronomist, talks through the beneficial effects of spreading crushed basalt on agricultural land, improving soil health, pH levels, and nutrient quality. Our trials provide us with the opportunity to gather soil samples, enabling us to assess the efficacy of the enhanced rock weathering process and its positive impact on soil for farmers. This validation ensures that we can offer our process to farmers with complete transparency 👏🚜
We have been selected as one of 20 finalists for the https://www.xprize.org/ ran by the Musk Foundation. As part of the judging there was a 3 day visit touring our partner quarries, partner farms where the volcanic rock is spread and one of our MRV trial sites.
The impact that takes place in one month in 2024: Tonnes of rock: 179,200 Hectares spread: 10,320 Farms enriched: 186 Tonnes of CO₂ to be removed: 38,000
