How does using SEER Rockdust help us manage climate change?
Under normal conditions – that is, without the negative impact of humankind in the last 200 years, it is largely the annual rate of weathering of rocks which controls atmospheric carbon dioxide. Using SEER Rockdust accelerates the weathering process by hundreds or maybe thousands of years, depending on how much is applied. The calcium and magnesium content in the rocks combines with atmospheric carbon to form carbonates. The faster silicate rocks “weather”, the faster carbon is removed from the atmosphere. Weathering is accelerated by the action of organic acids released from leaf-fall and other organic mulches. SEER Rockdust, applied with organic mulches, simulates the natural weathering process, sequestering atmospheric carbon and replace eroded soils. It is a vital weapon, along with reducing carbon emissions and maintaining surface vegetation, in stabilising atmospheric carbon. The use of SEER Rockdust will reduce or even eliminate our dependence on artificially produced chemical f
