Big Tech companies like Meta, Alphabet, and JPMorgan are investing in startups like Lithos Carbon to accelerate the process of enhanced rock weathering as a low-tech solution to combat climate change and reach net-zero goals. Lithos Carbon spreads leftover rock dust on farm fields to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, aiming to capture billions of tons of carbon by scaling their operation. This initiative is part of the growing carbon removal industry, with demand for carbon credits expected to quadruple by 2040, as companies realize the need for carbon removal technologies to meet their net-zero targets alongside emissions reductions.
