Problem
Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) projects require accurate measurement of carbonate alkalinity to verify carbon removal, but current methods involve manual sampling and lab analysis, leading to high operational costs and measurement uncertainty. This hinders trust and scalability within the carbon credit market.
Solution
Everest provides an in-situ sensor designed for Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) projects, offering a direct and automated method for measuring cumulative carbonate alkalinity. The sensor utilizes a specialized ion exchange resin to capture carbonate alkalinity as water flows through its measurement cell, digitizing the chemical state for real-time cloud transmission. This approach eliminates the need for manual sampling and laboratory analysis, significantly reducing measurement uncertainty and operational costs. By providing continuous, verifiable data, Everest's technology enhances transparency and supports the scalability of ERW projects in the carbon credit market.
Target Audience
The primary customers are developers of Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) projects and organizations operating within the carbon credit market that require robust measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) solutions.
