Rock stored carbon refers to carbon captured in geological formations, locking it away in stable minerals and aiding long-term climate change mitigation and environmental protection.
Naturally, rocks weather away, quietly pulling approximately 1 billion tons of CO2 from our atmosphere each year—a slow but steady force against atmospheric carbon buildup.

Olivine, a humble green mineral abundant in magnesium and iron, could be a game-changer in carbon capture. Spread across agricultural lands, especially in the tropics, it has the potential to slash atmospheric CO2 dramatically, bolstering crop growth with its mineral-rich dust.

By mimicking and accelerating natural geological processes, enhanced rock weathering aims to tackle modern climate challenges by rapidly converting atmospheric CO2 into stable mineral carbonates on land and in oceans.
SourceGreenSand is the worlds’ first sand and rock trading company purposely deploying olivine sand for CO2 uptake to reverse global warming. With 15 years of experience, greenSand have their proprietary carbon accounting solution, that shows exactly on a map where and when the olivine sand is applied and thus the carbon is sequestered.
